    "content": "When it comes to the BBI, it is one of the best ideas that we can talk about, but we need to ask ourselves some questions. When I hear Hon. Maoka narrate about the various handshakes that we have had from 2000, 2007, 2013 to 2017, we need to ask ourselves why we need to have handshakes now and then. Why can we not sustain what we have achieved? Right now, we have an initiative from the leader of the ruling party and the leader of the Opposition. That handshake needs to be planned and processed to ensure that it is sustainable. If we talk about the Opposition leader and the ruling party leader having a handshake and then we have temporary peace, tomorrow we may have a different party leader and a different Opposition leader. We do not want to see a country that is permanently on handshakes. We want to see a process and an implementation plan that ensures that the handshake is sustainable and it ensures that we shall no longer have violence during elections in this country.
