In rare cases, the ruling and opposition parties form a coalition government, or government of national unity. AdvertisementThat’s why the opposition isn’t a luxury, or the property of the party in opposition. Unlike political parties, civil society isn’t based on compromises – whether principled or not – but a conscience anchored in higher standards in law, morality, and ethics. I am shocked by the silence of ODM MPs when the Jubilee state violates the law, is asleep at the switch, or goes AWOL. This is a lesson for all citizens and opposition parties – you will live to regret it if you abandon your conscience.
