This happened when it became clear that Kenya is one of the best countries in the world for accepting public participation in law and decision making. According to Majority Leader Kimani Ichung'wa, regular discussions about the Budget are important as it gives voters an opportunity to express their views.
However, he questioned some of the decisions, saying that some of the participants did not receive training because they had not read and understood the Financial Bill.
Member of the House of Representatives declared that "public participation is essential to the constitution of the country and that all requests raised during the creation of the financial system will always be given full consideration".
Ichung'wa represented Prime Minister Moses Wetangula at the Minister of State for Naivasha at the opening of the third annual National Parliamentary Symposium.
