    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for donating those few minutes. This Motion intends to request the House to approve the National Dialogue Committee. I support the Motion. Mr. Speaker, Sir, paragraph six of this Motion talks about the mandate of this Committee. I will be very brief because of my time. As we approve the establishment of the National Dialogue Committee and its mandate, we need to agree as a country and as a House that we should never justify violence as we discuss issues. To me it appears that what is happening in the country today is that we want to use violence to justify conversation and dialogue. In 2007, this country almost collapsed. We used dialogue and there was the ‘ Nusu Mkate Government’ . In 2017, we had the same situation and we got the “handshake”. Again today, through violence, we have a conversation. I appeal to the Committee to put rules or laws in place to make it clear that after you lose an election, you should not perpetuate violence so that again, you just fight to discuss and share Government. That is what is intended in this process. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support."
