    "content": "Government, namely the Judiciary, Legislature and Executive, must counter-check one each other. The Kenyan people asked for Article 115 to check the legislative powers of Parliament. When the President does that under Article 115, Kenyans have recourse through the Judiciary to again check the presidency and the Executive. So, there is no way Parliament will be given excessive authority, or absolute power, in its legislative work. So, Article 115 was introduced for the Executive, and in this case the presidency, to check the excesses of the parliamentary legislative powers. This happens in every jurisdiction, for instance in the United States of America (USA), whether you talk of the minority or the majority. Secondly, the Judiciary provides a fall back mechanism to the Kenyan people. My good friend, Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona and her team, are in a referendum drive. Please, include Article 115 in your proposals and amend it. If you do not do it, you can go to the Supreme Court, which is the only body which is mandated to interpret the Constitution to the people of Kenya. These are the five great men and the two ladies of the Supreme Court."
