    "content": "I am saying that this initiative is clothed in popular initiative because those two people have good legal minds that advise them. They know very clearly that though the intention was to expand the Executive and get power from commissions that are provided in Chapter 15, such as the IEBC, the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) and the Judicial Service Commission (JSC), the only way to do it was to bring it as a popular initiative. This is because a popular initiative cannot be amended by Members of Parliament (MPs) since it is taken to be an initiative from the public, who bestowed their sovereign power to us. In my view, that is the reason public funds were put into this. The first promoters were the President and the former Prime Minister. If anybody tries to interrogate the process of collection of signatures in support of this Bill, they will be told that the chiefs were actually telling the public that they will not get money if they do not sign this Bill, yet they benefit from the cash transfer programmes, and that is why they must support it. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
