    "content": "My reading of Article 1 of our Constitution on the three arms of the Government is that Kenyans have donated their sovereign power to Parliament, which is number one on that list. Since it was not possible for all the 47 million Kenyans to gather, the only arm of Government that comes closest to a gathering of the 47 million Kenyans is Parliament. Neither the Judiciary nor the Executive can claim to exercise that authority. I sit here on behalf of the 1.2 million residents of Kericho County that I represent. Any time they attempt to do anything that has the force of law as per the dictates of Article 94 as was correctly pointed out by the Chairperson of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, then I am duty bound to ensure that whatever they are doing advances their interests. That is my duty. That is representation."
