    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, a nation is sovereign, however tiny or poor it is. Just like a human being is a human being, however weak and frail he is. Friends must talk as friends, and not as a slave- master relationship. That is the issue I take exception to but, nevertheless, acknowledge that they did show concern. Finally, I want to pay tribute to our President, His Excellency Mwai Kibaki. When we were urging him to quickly form a Government - and he did form a Government - he only formed a half of it. We did not understand why. Some of us were, indeed, pushing him to quickly complete March 18, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 185 forming the Government. He did not. I can now see that he foresaw, right from the beginning, that there would be need to reconcile the country, by leaving room to accommodate all shades of opinion for the sake of the country moving back."
