"content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to humbly disagree, and insist that the question of the presence of an Official Opposition in this House is, indeed, a grave matter of national importance. As an attorney, I do believe that a law is made both in letter and in spirit. I do believe that when the National Accord and Reconciliation Act and the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2008 were enacted by this House, envisaging a situation where this House would unite to form a Grand Coalition Government, the spirit of the same law was that, that Grant April 16, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 469 Coalition Government would be checked by a Grand Coalition Opposition. It is the expectation of the people of this country that in the same spirit that a Grand Coalition Government sits in this House on your right hand side, a Grand Coalition Opposition must sit on your left hand side."
