In fact, Mr. Nyachae is a very respectable person whom I know very well, and I really respect him. I have never doubted his performance, unless they never understood what I meant. I will repeat what I said for the benefit of those who did not understand me well. I was actually castigating the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affair who, a few minutes ago, said that the Opposition is dead. The Government is talking as if there is no Opposition. I was saying that it is the same Government that has poached hon. Members who could articulate the Opposition ideals. Mr. Nyachae is the best person to have done that."}
