    "content": "We want, as a House, to support and to come together and move this country to economic prosperity. For those who are saying that the coming together of the two great leaders will kill the Opposition in this country, they should know that there has not been Opposition in this country from 2013. We have only been having under the new Constitution the majority side and the minority side. Whenever we differ on opinion, it does not mean that we have the Opposition or the ruling side. When we differ, we agree. ODM still remains the biggest minority party and the rest, as we have indicated earlier, should not try to intimidate it. I have heard them giving some conditions that talks must be structured and inclusive. Hon. Rt. Raila Odinga was the flag bearer of NASA. Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta was the flagbearer of Jubilee. If they are flagbearers, it does not mean that they literally carry flags; they carry our aspirations with them. When they meet, the whole country has met. So, we support them. The only thing here is that, that simple handshake has killed careers of some of us. I do not know who I will be dealing with. You must deal with a lion to be recognised in this country. I am left to deal with Kalonzo. When you put on a helmet to deal with a rat, people may not know that you are a man enough. You need to deal with a lion. Surely, with that handshake, some of our careers are finished."
