In the Statement, the Chairperson should clarify the following: 1. Is it true or not that the Kenya Defence Forces are abetting illegal trade in charcoal, sugar and other contraband goods and thereby and knowingly oiling the funding of the Al Shabaab operations? 2. Could the Chairman confirm whether the Government of Kenya is aware that a few days ago, the National Parliament of Somalia voted with an overwhelming majority in a resolution that the Kenyan forces must be excluded from the AMISON forces and leave Somalia? 3. As a consequence, could the Chairperson tell us whether the Government of Kenya has now developed an exit strategy for our military security forces to leave Somalia? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
