"content": "Government? I hope we are not slipping back to the old days of “wait and see” as our policy because we shaped this country to have a very pro-active foreign policy where you do not watch the direction of the flag and the wind to decide which way to go. You have to be fair and firm in situations. Has Kenya taken a position like Tanzania has in advising the President of Burundi to respect their Constitution and not to run for a third term, having done two full five year terms as is provided for under the Arusha Accord and the Constitution of Burundi? Lastly, the Statement is not clear about our preparedness to evacuate our nationals. Officially, she has said that there are 600 Kenyans in Burundi whereas we know that there are in excess of 5,000 Kenyans living and working in Burundi. Do we have our preparedness to evacuate Kenyans from Burundi in the event of a genocidal upheaval or a full blown civil strife? Two days ago a leading opposition figure was assassinated on the streets of Bujumbura and the situation has become even more volatile. Are we ready to evacuate our nationals and what have we done in furtherance of that?"
