    "content": "an issue, for example, when we had the Ad hoc Committee on tea issues, there is a public participation department in the counties that we visit. The department will alert and educate the public on the information required and set instruments, for example, for collecting information and design data collecting instruments. This will ensure that when we get there, they have already structured the meeting to be conducive and well informed, to provide effective information. Otherwise, public information will end up becoming public barazas where everybody stands and says anything that they want. It becomes competition, confusion and everything else. There should be a particular department that has specialised personnel that will go further and analyse the information, process and prioritise according to the funding available. They will then give the public feedback, explaining to them that, for example, a particular project might not be done at a particular time because of financial implications. It can then be undertaken at a particular date in the future or whatever the case it may be. We must add in this Bill the responsible department that will employ people with skills effective in collecting information and preparing the public on effective public participation. After collecting the information, department should be able to analyse the information, provide monitoring and evaluation procedures and report back to the public and be responsible for everything. If this Public Participation Bill is to be effective, we should have a clause with clear qualifications of people who will carry out public participation or run a public participation office. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to support with those amendments."
