    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I urge the President to take time and listen to the alternative view. The view of the majority of Kenyans is that after he shook hands with the former Prime Minister, the same has not been cascaded downwards for the people to understand what they entirely want to achieve out of their private conversations. After emerging from the steps of Harambee House, what is the BBI supposed to achieve? We listened that afternoon with a hope that he would perhaps go into more extreme detail to talk about some of the issues that have divided us, as a country, on many occasions; and how we are now using the BBI to ensure that we address them. There are many things that irk Kenyans, when they look at us, as their leaders. There are pronouncements that we make that, at the end of the day, do not go down well with the political divide of the country. If we are trying to reach out to the other side of the crowd, it is important that we listen to even those that we do not agree with."
