    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute on this very important Motion. Since the last election, the party and the leadership of Wiper have been for dialogue. To date, Wiper party still stands for dialogue. The initiative by Hon. Raila Odinga and the President is great and is a good initiative for this country. I believe that this is a very good idea and the country is going to benefit from it. The most important thing is to carry Parliament, political parties and Kenyans along with it. During the last elections, most people lost their lives, they had no answers as to where to begin and those who were injured did not know how to be compensated. In fact, two Members of this Parliament got serious injuries during that time. There were extremes also on the part of the Government. There was no reason to deny Hon. Raila Odinga a meeting at Uhuru Park the day he returned from the USA. It is through these talks that we are not going to see teargas again as a country. Teargas affects people who were not part of it. We will also not see water cannons which are poisonous. We want to build our nation and make it safe for our visitors and ensure the economy grows. More important for NASA which has been proposing constitutional amendments and a better way of dealing with election stalemates, this can only be done through this House in a structured way, where there is a law or a resolution of the House on the way forward. For this to be done there has to be structured dialogue so that it is not an open blanket. What was signed by the two leaders was a document of utmost good faith. Utmost good faith has to be nurtured, revealed, shown and there has to be goodwill on the part of the two The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
