The truth of the matter is that the Government that exists today is not a Government in the ordinary sense of the word but it is a special Grand Coalition. We must live to that reality! We must recognize the fact that this is not just an ordinary Government voted in, in the normal way. I think it would be very short- sighted of us to forget what happened in December 2007. We should never forget what happened in 2007 and how we had a problem that paralysed this country. Now that we have peace that was brought about by the Coalition Government, we are behaving as if things are normal. What we have is a temporary solution and it cannot last forever. In fact, it will only survive if we are able to come up with a new Constitution in the next one year, otherwise; this temporary solution is not sustainable."}
