    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, the point of order that has been raised under Standing Order 65 by the Majority Whip is within his right. We are aware in the Constitution of Kenya, under Article 1(2) that the people may exercise their sovereign power either directly or through their democratically elected representatives. Madam Temporary Speaker, I invite you to look at Article 93 on the establishment of Parliament. (1) There is an established Parliament of Kenya, which shall consist of the National Assembly and the Senate. (2) The National Assembly and the Senate shall perform their respective functions in accordance with the Constitution. 94(2) Parliament manifests the diversity of the nation, represents the will of the people, and exercises their sovereignty. It is also derived from the people and the people. Parliament shall protect this Constitution and promote democratic governance of the Republic. We just need to agree on the reading of Articles 94, 93. 96, 95 and even Article 1 of the Constitution. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has brought Standing Order No. 65 that a number our colleagues from the Minority side are boycotting Plenary Sittings. I do not mean all of them because I can see Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda, SC, who was my lecturer for conveyancing at Moi University. By the way, Moi University was the best in the moot court competition. They beat the UoN courtesy of Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda, SC."
