“After our lofty experiences of the past three decades, how sad it is to see the impasse in our legislature. With the continuing anti-party towards the institution of state that should guarantee our peace and stability, and particularly to the challenge to the rule of law. We may have been through some of these experiences before and overcome them, but the vehemence of the current impasse… we cannot simply afford. Our political leaders are in danger of ignoring the lessons of our history and the penalty of miscalculation in a febrile political environment.
“There is no system of governance which can be sustained without a process by which differences are reconciled and litigations are brought to an end. It is not just a necessary requirement of our constitutional democracy, it is one of the strengths of our African traditional governance.
“When we send men and women to parliament, we expect them to engage in rigorous debates, but we also expect them to be able to reconcile conflicting opinions and have the good sense to recognise the point at which litigations become self-serving and valueless and decisions become obligatory.
“Our legislators cannot trust the lessons of our history and expect to retain their honour among the people. This is the worst possible time to put our nation through this drama. In the first place, our democracy has not developed the resilience where it can sustain a prolonged political crisis,” he stated.
