I think this is the legacy that the President will leave to this nation, for trying to unite the country and also for reaching out to his political competitor so that they can talk to bring the country together after elections. You will realise immediately after elections, we had a lot of issues emanating from the bungled elections, the IEBC, the reforms and all manner of things. But the President and the Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga showed their statesmanship by rising and coming together to bring the country together. That is one of the things that the President spoke about extensively and he said he will not relent and he will not go back on what they agreed with the Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga. The BBI is something that has now gone beyond the two individuals. It now embraces the whole country. The team that was constituted by the President and the Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga is going round collecting views from Kenyans. They will come up with a report that will help this country, so that we do not come from an election and look like we had gone to war. This is something that we need to look into very critically, especially reforms at IEBC, which is one of the most contentious issues that has happened after every election.

Last time when the court nullified the presidential election, if it was another 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."
