    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The issue that my Whip, Hon. Junet Mohamed, has raised is very fundamental and goes to the core and heart of the Constitution. The people of Kenya, while enacting this Constitution in 2010, decided to delegate their sovereign power to three arms of Government: the Executive, Judiciary and Legislature. And it was for good reason. In fact, it may not sound so prominent, but I would say that look at Article 1(3) where the sovereign power is delegated. The first delegation is given to Parliament and the legislative assemblies, meaning that the people of Kenya want Parliament to have the first delegated authority. We are the ones who represent the people. We represent them directly. Then the power is delegated to others such as the national Executive and their structures in the counties and finally to the Judiciary and independent tribunals."
