    "content": "For those people who are aspiring to join Parliament, one of the things they need to learn is that once you come to this Parliament, the dynamics completely change. Things are not what the public think of Parliament and politics. Indeed, the handshake that we saw of our principals is a testimony of what our political landscape is, especially at the higher level. People may contest, but they are not sworn enemies. Even if I disagree with one person or the other, I am not doing it because we are enemies, but because we are contesting. I am very amused when sometimes I meet Members of Parliament from the Jubilee side because of the stories they tell about what they thought I am. They keep telling me that their constituents ask whether they sit with Hon. Millie and whether she is normal. The narrative on the Jubilee side is that I am a bit of a mental case. Once they come here, they become some of my best friends because it is a totally different story and scenario. Therefore, I agree with the Committee on their finding."
