(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): That the most grievous of crimes, according to us which is against the spirit of multiparty democracy and the Political Parties Act is that despite an existing agreement between UDF and the Jubilee Coalition, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale actually proposed and supported the minority candidates both for the Chair and Vice Chair in the Implementation Committee. That is in the public domain. He has even registered the same sentiments in the media.

Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to take this opportunity to thank all the Senators who have spoken either in support or in opposition of this Motion.

Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think we should not spoil the good start this House has had. We should deal with the issue at hand.
