    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I speak on behalf of Amani National Congress, which is part of the NASA Coalition. Dialogue is a word that is used severally in the community I come from. Hence the word mulembe, which means “dialogue and peace”. However, whereas we want to support dialogue in Kenya, I would like to quickly assert that dialogue must be done in a structured manner that is all-involving. As the Mover and the Seconder of the Motion have indicated, we want to move forward. If we want the dialogue process to be all-involving, we must include all the players at the party level. While I greatly support the Leader of the Majority Party for saying that the President went for dialogue as an individual who leads the Jubilee Party, moving forward, NASA is a coalition of more than one party. Therefore, it was proper and it is proper while moving forward that NASA’s representation in these talks be well focused and inclusive of all the players within it. I would like to fault my leader, the Leader of the Minority Party; that, as the big brother, as indicated earlier, he should never at any given time appear to be intimidating the younger brothers by planting a seed of fear by saying that they can go it alone. We made a deliberate decision to join parties and coalesced to work for a purpose. I believe he does not believe that that purpose has ended today, and that he does not need his younger brothers as he moves forward."
