    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As I support this Report of the National Dialogue Committee, I want to mention a few things. Firstly, for a discussion or dialogue of this nature to be there, it certainly has to be preceded by some kind or form of crisis. We had a crisis as has been ably talked about by our Leader of the Minority Party. I have been around from 15th January 2008. I have been in this Chamber for more than 16 years, and every time, from the 10th Parliament, when we had post- election violence, we have kept on using these same words and terminologies that have been used by both leaders today: never again will this country experience the kind of violence. This is becoming rhetoric. As a country, we must ask ourselves a fundamental question: why is it that after every election we always have a crisis in this country? We need to address that question. Looking at this Report, I am afraid to say that we still fear and gloss over issues. We have not addressed the main issue, which is the system of Government. It is the biggest problem and the challenge that we are facing as a country. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
