    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, about coalitions, I agree with those who say they should be a last resort. I think they have no business. It is about opportunism, dishonesty and people who have no common values coming together. That is what we have seen, that our coalitions are not based on any principles. People do not say: “We are getting together as political parties because my party and yours have similar ideas”; it is just because they want to be in leadership. That is why, for example, you saw the National Democratic Party (NDP) working with the Kenya African National Union (KANU) when they were on different sides of the divide in terms of the fight of the liberation; the National Rainbow Coalition (NARC) in 2002 involved KANU politicians, yet you wanted change. You did not work with those kind of people, yet they comprised a key part of your government. The other example is the Party of National Unity (PNU) and KANU. What is common about PNU and KANU? How can you can bring together political parties, one that was for conservatism and did not want change, and another that wants change, and all of a sudden believe that you have the same ideals and you can continue fighting under the same political party? That is hypocrisy. It should have no place and we should have no room for people like those."
