    "content": "Like sports, we must learn to accept defeat. If one accepts defeat, they will have another chance to compete. If one accepts defeat they will have an opportunity to prepare. If one accepts defeat they will have an opportunity to win other people to their side. However, every time one cannot be sulking, saying the other side did not win, the referee was biased or they need extra material. That way we will never unite this country. We will never as a country, move forward and build a country we can be proud of. I am one of the politicians. When a person from the CORD Coalition has any problem I have been willing and ready to support him or her and the same applies to somebody from the Jubilee side. When any Senator from any side has had a personal problem this House has united in supporting each other. However, we go out there and lie to Kenyans that we are great enemies who do not even talk or sit down together to canvass. We do this just to keep them in an agenda that has no direction so that we can be relevant in politics. This is something that must change. Let us not lie to Kenyans. If we want to talk, let us talk. We cannot go to report to Kenyans why we want to talk. We have the license, the forum, the House, the opportunity and the knowledge. In any case, the Senate Leader of Minority together with the President were on the same side. The Deputy President together with the Leader of Opposition were on the same side. How do Kenyans forget so fast? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, even hon. Kalonzo Musyoka, the deputy leader of the CORD was also on the other side at that time with the current President. Things change. This is a competition of ideas, but some people want to turn it to be a competition of boxing people’s lives. That must change; we must learn that from sports. Otherwise, we will say that some people are running politics that are full of doping, which must come to an end."
