Nicholas Scott Tindi Mwale","speaker_title":"The Member for Butere","speaker":{"id":13311,"legal_name":"Nicholas Scott Tindi Mwale","slug":"nicholas-scott-tindi-mwale"},"content":"Secondly, I want to take this opportunity to thank the people of Butere for giving me a chance to serve them in this respectable House. I want to commend my fellow Hon. Members who have talked today. I have seen some sense of sobriety, unlike yesterday or the other sittings where Members of Parliament pledge their allegiance to their principals and not to the people of Kenya. Chapter 1 of the Constitution talks about the sovereignty of the people. It is very clear that all sovereign power belongs to the people of Kenya. Therefore, I urge my fellow Hon. Members that when we are in this House, let us have our allegiance directed to the people of Kenya and not to our principals."}
