    "content": "advocates; but parliament is a deliberative assembly of one nation, with one interest, that of the whole; where not local purposes, not local prejudices ought to guide, but the general good, resulting from the general reason of the whole. You choose a member indeed; but when you have chosen him, he is not a member of Bristol, but he is a member of parliament.” We have been selected as Members of ODM, PICK, Independent Members, Jubilee and whatever you want to call it. However, when we sit here, ultimately we are Members of the National Assembly of the Republic of Kenya. So, when we are confronted by a challenge such as this one, may we rise to the challenge of honouring certain higher ideals that go beyond merely the difference of this party or that coalition. At the end of the day in 2017, some of you might find yourselves with me in ODM. Some people might find themselves in another party. At the end of the day, some of you may find yourselves with me in the ODM while some people might find themselves in another party. That is just how the game goes. I want to challenge the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party who is seated by my side--- I want to challenge my brother, the Majority Party Chief Whip and the Minority Party Chief Whip that there is a window of opportunity to craft an arrangement that can move this Parliament forward and set a precedent of bipartisanship that would enable this House to lead in the journey of healing this country and move it forward."
