    "content": "Mr. Speaker Sir, I start by thanking you in person. It depends on who steers the process; you have steered the process very well this afternoon. I thank my colleagues for the manner in which we have collectively handled the matter before us. The senate has been the voice of reason in this country all through. Whenever there are issues of contention, they have been able to solve it amicably. Elections are emotive in nature; emotive in the sense that there are quite a number of interests involved. It is important for the leadership of this country at any level to avoid raising tensions so that we are able go through this period ahead of us peacefully. I really encourage the stakeholders to bring in their input to the two Committees which will be handling this matter. There is a feeling that so much is not being said openly. We need to be open to each other. There is nothing really to hide. A feeling has been created in the country that what is happening is not the right thing. It is important that we unearth everything that we know as the leadership that will hurt our country. We are not planning for today; we are planning for the future. Finally, I call on the leadership at the top, irrespective of their party affiliation, to embrace dialogue. They must do it at that level too as we do it in Parliament, cascading down to the lower levels. I thank everyone and urge for commitment as we proceed and wait for the report from the two Committees."
