    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like that you clarify further because in Article 255(1)(c), the issue of amendment relating to the sovereignty of the people is stated. The provision of Article (1)(2) which says that: “The people may exercise their sovereign power either directly or through their democratically elected representatives.” The Bill that we seek to amend the Constitution through today, is speaking to the elections of those special members. Those special members upon being elected will exercise indirectly the sovereign power of the people on behalf of those people. Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, in view of that, would you like to clarify further whether my conviction that the issue of then those people exercising donated sovereign power by the people makes this an amendment that touches on the sovereignty of the people of the Republic Kenya. Could you clarify that?"
