    "content": "Regarding the issue of national dialogue, I just wonder about hon. Members who are supporting the way things are being done now. I do not know what would happen if for those who lost elections were given a chance to spearhead matters in the constituencies. This is the trend that we are trying to introduce, that is to get election losers to be the ones to spearhead the national agenda. I think it is a very unfortunate situation that people would want to be led by somebody who does not have mandate from wananchi; he wants to lead us into national dialogue. Another thing is that there will be a lot man hours lost in these campaigns about national dialogue. People are not even working because they are waiting and, therefore, there is a lot of anxiety. I think it is high time the issue of people running up and down got stopped. We have got only five years; I think almost two years are gone. For those who want to contest elections, they will have 2017 to do so; they include the ones we defeated in the last election. With those few remarks, I wish to support the report."
