    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to register my congratulations to His Excellency the President and Baba for their great ingenuity in coming up with the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) Taskforce, which has led to this very first popular initiative Bill under Article 257 of the Constitution. Straightaway, I would like to dispel any illusions that there is a mix in the format or effect between Articles 256 and 257 of the Constitution, 2010. The Bill before this House is exclusively under the provisions of Article 257. It is being formulated pursuant to the sovereign authority under Article 1 of the Constitution. Article 1 provides that all sovereign power belongs to the people of Kenya. For my reference, let me refer to them as Wanjiku. The use of the word “sovereign’’ in this Article is not accidental. It is intended to bear some impact. The people exercise that sovereign power either directly by themselves or through their elected representatives. Here, we are dealing with direct exercise of authority. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
