I want, first of all, to fault my colleagues in the CORD Coalition for wanting us not to heed that call by the President. When the President calls us, he is the symbol of unity in this country; I was not in the country, otherwise I would have come despite the call for us not to attend. What the President was telling us was important. We are the representatives of the people and we should have been here to listen. I would like to touch on the point that the President is the symbol of unity in this country; he should see to it that Kenyans live together in harmony and have equal opportunities. I have just come from Cameroon. It is a country that was split into two by the colonialists, but the people of Cameroon have forgotten their differences; they have unified themselves and live together. We have 42 ethnic groups but Cameroon has more than 200 ethnic groups, yet they live together in harmony. I know we are different but the President has a big task to unify this country. I want to ask our colleagues not to make the work of the President difficult when he attempts to unify the country. Although I am in red, I am not in the TNA. I am strong in CORD and I believe that we in CORD should not do some things that will cause more disunity than there is now. When you look at some of the things that are happening in the country, I think most of you have talked about insecurity. We are also looking at the issues of devolution. It is upon the President to see that devolution goes on smoothly. When we see things like what happened in Makueni we see The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
