    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I really want to accommodate the Minister but he has gone on and on until I now feel I should raise this point of order. Is it in order for him to imply that once members of the public have elected their representatives, those members of the public have no direct say on matters affecting them? The Constitution is very clear. It says that sovereign authority belongs to the people of Kenya, and that they can exercise it either directly or through their elected representatives. So, the people can exercise their sovereign authority directly. They can withdraw the delegation and exercise their sovereign authority directly. Is it in order for the Minister to imply that, having delegated that authority to Parliament, the people of Kenya have lost their sovereign authority?"
