    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity. I rise to support the Motion that has been moved by the Senate Majority Leader and seconded by the Senate Minority Leader. When you speak about dialogue, we hear about peace, reconciliation, peace-making and conflict resolution. Far from the fact that we have got existing conflict, we are all aware that this country is ruled by law. It is a democratic State that people went for election in 2022 and a Government was put in place. However, when we listen to the Motion that has been placed before us and the framework being set by the team that is expected to conduct the dialogue; we expect that this committee will confine itself to the issues, which are within its mandate. I support the Motion in terms of institutionalizing the committee that shall speak to the issues raised by Kenyans. Remember, we previously had a committee that sat for a couple of weeks, leading to the current committee. Mr. Speaker, Sir, listening to the Senate Majority Leader, the issues that will be a subject of discussion for this committee are limited to developing reforms, facilitating dialogue and bridging differences between these two political formations. This will ultimately allow the people of Kenya and the Government of the day to execute the mandate that was granted by the people in the election that was conducted in 2022. I support this Motion with those reservations."
