    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to move that The Petition to County Assemblies (Procedure) Bill (Senate Bills No.22 of 2018) be now read a Second Time. Madam Temporary Speaker, this is a Bill that arises from the provisions of the Constitution of Kenya. It is, therefore, well entrenched and founded on the constitution and the principles therein. Our Constitution has brought forth a lot of principles some of which put the citizens first in everything that we do. One of this is on the issue of public participation by the citizens and the sovereignty of the people in public participation. Therefore, it is the people first, the Republic then everybody else follows. The Constitution has brought forth many Articles that keep repeating how we must involve the citizenry in the processes of decision-making, governance and the laws that we pass. Therefore, this Bill comes up to ensure that people are at the center of everything as dictated by the Constitution, to ensure that they are consulted and that the decisions that are made by the county assemblies are involving and have the interests of the people at heart. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
