Why participate in Public Participation Forums
The main aim of public participation is to encourage the public to have meaningful input into the decision-making process. RBA Public participation forums thus provide participants the opportunity for communication between agencies making decisions and the public.
Public participation is a constitutional requirement specifically, Article 1 that states that sovereign power belongs to the people and Article 10 (2) (a) and the Fourth Schedule Part 2 (14) of the Constitution of Kenya.
