    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am in support of this Bill. As I had said, the principle on public participation is enshrined in our Constitution. This Bill is one of those Bills that have come up to further put structures in place to ensure that the public is able to do public participation in good time and in the right manner. This Bill creates a facility for public participation. Therefore, people are able to participate and give their views. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Bill has gone ahead to suggest that we can renovate already existing structures for purposes of public participation. That way, people will not have to sit under trees. We have been told that for people to conduct public participation in some areas, they sit under a tree and give their views. That is not a conducive environment for people to properly engage, make decisions and oversight what the counties are doing. 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."
