"content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support the Motion. I want to start by saying that, today, I am very proud to be a Kenyan. I am very proud to be part of the history that ushered in the new Constitution. The jewel in the new Constitution is the Chapter on Devolution. Article 1 of the new Constitution tells us that the sovereign power of this Republic shall be exercised at two levels – at the national level and at the county level – by the people of this Republic. The people of the Republic of Kenya are very eager to get into this new constitutional dispensation. Every well-meaning hon. Member of this House is aware of Article 261(5), which says:- “261(5) If Parliament fails to enact any particular legislation within the specified time, any person may petition the High Court on the matter.”"
