    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was a bit worried when you called the Mover to reply. In the morning, I set off from Nyeri County very early to come and contribute to this debate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, all of us who are sitting in this House were elected. We know it is important to have a conversation. I wish to challenge us that now that we have agreed to embrace dialogue, moving forward, we wish to see the Minority side sitting, listening and fronting questions when Cabinet Secretaries come here. It is quite unfortunate. I urge the team that has been chosen to lead this dialogue in the last paragraph of their report, to give us a formula that will ensure Kenyans will no longer die in the streets because somebody has lost an election. It is very deceptive. We know that the only genuine conversation is held every five years as envisioned by our Constitution. It is unfair to Kenyans and the taxpayers in a country that is really struggling to make an economic recovery. Again, we have subjected them to paying additional cost for making 10 people to sit down. I saw another list that had Sen. Wambua, who is a good debater and a committed Christian. That was better than having somebody like “Ms. Eunice Wamalwa” who you know does not even qualify."
