    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I thank you very much. If all departmental committees are unable to effectively do prepublication scrutiny, what about public participation? It is a big challenge. As I speak, we do not have a law that guides public participation. I have done one and it should be coming for First Reading very soon, so that we can have a clear framework when we do public participation. We do not have any law that operationalises Article 118 of the Constitution on public participation. We have seen many shortcuts taken in legislation. At the county assemblies, it is even worse. A governor organises some sections of people and says that public participation was done. We need a clear framework so that we can know the threshold when we speak about public participation."
