    "content": "On a point of order, hon. Speaker. I just wanted to seek further clarification as a follow up to what the Chair of the Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations has read in his Statement on South Sudan. I have listened carefully to what he has outlined. Some of those undertakings the Government is currently engaged in South Sudan may become a subject of investigation by this House. We may need to inquire into some of those actions. Those are functions in my view, which fall within the purview of the Executive arm of Government. You heard the hon. Chairman of the Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations say that His Excellency the President, as part of Kenya Government’s interventions on the on-goings in South Sudan, has appointed the Member for Rongo, hon. Dalmas Otieno, as a special envoy. I just want him to confirm if that action by the President may not be a confrontation on the principle of separation of powers between the Executive and Legislature."
