    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order to demand a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Foreign Affairs in respect of the cargo ship carrying arms, which was hijacked by Somali pirates in the Indian Ocean. I seek the following clarifications from the Minister:- (a) Could the Minister confirm that the cargo's destination was Mombasa, and that it was, October 15, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2769 indeed, for the consumption of Kenya? (b) Could he give us details of the exact nature of the cargo aboard the hijacked ship, itemising its value in Kenya Shillings? (c) Could he tell us why the Government of Sudan in Khartoum is asking Kenya and Ethiopia to desist from aiding the semi-autonomous Government in Southern Sudan in acquisition of arms? What is the connection between this particular request by the Government of Sudan and the cargo that has been hijacked? (d) Should the pirates make good their threat to blow up the ship, who will bear liability for the lost goods? Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
