    "content": "(Ugunja, ODM) I just wanted to comment on the Report that has just been tabled by the Leader of the Majority Party on the National Dialogue Committee Report. I recall that I was a member of that Committee. Actually, I was the deputy delegation leader. Our leader of delegation was His Excellency Dr Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka. The reason I want to make a comment on this Report is that since its release about a week or so ago, a lot has been said out there from various quarters. I think with the tabling of this Report officially now, the country has got a chance to go through this Report, understand it, internalise it and be able to speak from a point of information. This Report, without really debating it, because I cannot do that now, is such an important Report that we cannot afford to have people, especially leaders, commenting on it without having read it. It is irresponsible for a leader of whatever shade to comment on a report as important as the National Dialogue Committee Report without having read it. So, by tabling this Report, I think now the House has given Kenyans an opportunity to read it with a toothcomb and understand what is in it because it has got very far-reaching recommendations. More importantly, I was discussing with the Leader of the Majority Party a while back that the nature of the recommendations in this Report are such that it may require fast tracking. What I mean is that it might require this House to dispense with the Report in the normal way as quickly as possible to give room for the processing of the attendant instruments that come with it. Without really anticipating anything, I suppose the Leader of the Majority Party might be considering petitioning you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for us to come back here before the long recess ends to deal with this matter. Thank you."
