    "content": "Hon. Members, even as I make this Communication, I am waiting for the correct data that shows how many Members made their way into the Chamber yesterday between 2.30 p.m. and 4.30 p.m. I intend to make the data public. It is important. We are transparent and there is nothing to hide. Kenyans have a right to know Members who come and stand at the door, log in and go back to… I do not know whether it is the Members Bar or the Lobby Room. Hon. Members, I wish to draw the attention of the House to the publication of three Bills proposing a legislative framework for public participation in legislative processes.

This Bill is sponsored by the Member for Kiminini, the Hon. Chrisantus Wamalwa, MP. (iii) The Public Participation Bill (Sen. Bill No.4 of 2018) which has been referred to this House after passage by the Senate. This Bill, which is sponsored by the Senator for Busia, Sen. Amos Wako, was published on March 5, 2018 under Kenya Gazette Notice No.17 of 2018 and read a First Time in the National Assembly on June 11, 2019. Hon.
