I would want the Committee concerned and the Government in general to assure Kenyans:- (1) What steps are being taken if the situation continues being volatile to evacuate Kenyans back home? (2) How many Kenyans have been caught up into this mess and lost their lives or properties? If any life has been lost, how do we get those who have lost lives to be brought back to their loved ones? (3) If properties have been lost because we have very heavy investments by Kenyans in Juba, could the Government undertake to engage the Government of South Sudan to make sure that those who may have lost property are adequately compensated? (4) Kenya, as a leader in this region and the Inter Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and the East Africa Community where South Sudan is in the process of admission, what are we doing to lead the region into pacifying the situation by engaging the African Union (AU), the UN and any other international agencies that may be available to help. (5) Lastly, we are aware that the international community has allowed this very dangerous situation to happen in South Sudan by allowing the President and his Vice President to have their own military wings within a small town like Juba. What will the international community do to demilitarize Juba and disarm the combatants that are fighting, but more importantly, to fuse the army of the President and the Vice President into one national army? How can you have a small town like Juba with two armies: one army for the President and the other one for the Vice President facing each other with a lot of hostility?"
