"content": "Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations regarding efforts being made by the Government of Kenya towards facilitating trade and investment in the Republic of South Sudan for Kenyans. As we are aware, since South Sudan became a Republic, many individual Kenyans, firms and the Government of Kenya have invested heavily towards the re-construction of that country. Many Kenyans are involved in businesses while others are employed and working in the various sectors of the economy of that country. I would like the Chairperson of the Committee to inquire into and report to the House on the following:- (a) the level of business and professional investment by the Government of Kenya and Kenyans in the Republic of South Sudan; (b) efforts made by the Government of Kenya towards facilitating trade and investment by Kenyans in South Sudan; (c) progress on plans by the Governments of Kenya and South Sudan to construct an oil pipeline to Lamu, as agreed in 2002, and explain why it is taking so long for the project to be implemented; and, (d) the status of South Sudanâs membership to the East African Community, which would not only open up opportunities for the citizens of both countries but also for citizens of other member states of the Community."
