    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. Personally, the South Sudan issue actually happens to be a heartbreak for the simple reason that their diplomatic success is what the coalition and, indeed, President Kibaki, worked so hard for. He had to make sure that the South Sudan Government became independent and settle in as one of the new states of the Continent of Africa. Hon. Speaker, but the unfortunate events which have taken place for the last three to four months are heartbreaking. I would want the Chairman of the Committee, that is the Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations, to give us information as to whether the Kenya Government is currently engaging with the South Sudan Government - including the rebels - to come up with an amicable agreement on what is to be done. Hon. Speaker, we want the Chairman to tell this House whether the Kenya Government, indeed, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is engaged with South Sudan Government so that Kenyans who lost their lives and property, can receive adequate compensation for the loss. Secondly, I would also want the Chairman to clarify if, indeed, the Kenya Government is willing to engage with the South Sudan Government to make sure that Kenyans who may have been displaced or were forced to leave that country--- It is important to find out whether those who had work permits and were allowed to eke out a living in South Sudan can be allowed back. Also, if the situation in South Sudan has stabilized for them to continue with their lives and earn a living. Thank you very much. I hope that the Chairman of the Committee will be able to inform this House."
