    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute to this important Bill. This Bill is derived from the provisions of our own Constitution. To allow people to participate in the decision making processes of Government is to actualize the supremacy of the people of Kenya as envisaged in the Constitution. The Constitution has given them a right to say what they want, how the budgets are to be used and in what areas and priorities. I believe that this Bill will bring out the aspect of the public coming out to say” no” to one thing and “yes” to another. Sometimes, we end up having upcoming projects which are dictated and imposed upon the people, funds being misused and the people are not aware. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Bill will bring out the actualization of these provisions to ensure that we involve them in democratic processes of choosing what they want and how they want it done. This Constitution realizes that people have a say in what is happening through their elected representatives in Parliament and in county assemblies. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
