    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity. I submit that I support the Report very much. I thank the PIC led by the able Chairman, the Hon. Member for Mvita, the Vice Chairperson and its membership. The most important point in the Report is that many people still believe that public participation means concurrency. That is not the case. You can discuss and give your views, but if the Committee or whoever you are giving your views does not concur with what you have to say it still qualifies as public participation. Therefore, one of the key recommendations is the need for a law to guide public participation so that the public is guided. The other recommendation we made is on exception of taxation on plain drinking water. One of the excisable goods under this system is drinking water. We propose the exception of plain drinking water from taxation because this is a constitutional right. Kenyans are entitled to safe drinking water by the Constitution. With those few remarks and because of constraints of time, I fully support this Report."
