"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for this opportunity. I also join my colleagues in fully supporting the Constitution of the National Dialogue Team. I am happy that the National Dialogue team is constituted along the lines of national values and principles of governance. I pray that at the end of their term, this team is going to come up with the resolutions that bind us together as a nation. People should not be afraid of talking. In fact, the minute you stop talking, then bad things begin to happen. There is nothing to fear about dialogue. When there are disputes, whether those disputes arise from a contested election or they arise from issues of governance or cost of living, leaders have a duty of care to talk and find solutions to problems facing the people they lead. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I personally take this initiative very seriously. As my neighbour, the Senator of Meru has said, he left his county very early in the morning to participate in this. I should be somewhere in Nakuru, taking my son back to school. However, I am here because this is important for this country and for national healing. As I conclude, this team that is meeting to have this dialogue is building on a foundation that was laid by the first bipartisan team that yours truly was a member of. In this one, I am very happy that we have laid a firm foundation on which we will heal this country and move forward together as a nation. I fully support."
