    "content": "As Sen. Orengo said, county assemblies are actually county parliaments and they are mirrored on the national Parliament. Therefore, it is not by coincidence or by sheer luck that Article 1(3) of the Constitution, in enumerating arms of Government, starts with Parliament, followed by the Executive and the Judiciary. There is a reason why the drafters did not start with the Judiciary and end with any other arm. That reason is what Sen. Orengo has told us, which is that parliaments, whether national or county parliaments, are the only arms out of the three arms of government that are directly given the mandate by the people through voting. It follows that Parliament is supreme. There is no arm of Government above parliament except the people themselves. So, above Parliaments, it is not the Executives or the Judiciary. The only constitutional organ above any parliament is an organ called the people."
