"content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank my brother, the Senate Minority Leader, for bringing out the issue of South Sudan. South Sudan is a friendly country and a neighbour of Kenya. Kenya has borne the brunt of instability in South Sudan. For many years, we have hosted refugees from South Sudan and we brokered the peace process. I assure Sen. Wetangula and the rest of Kenyans that the President is fully seized of this matter. For the last two days, he has been engaged continuously on a 24-hour basis of the situation in South Sudan. We hope that some form of stability can be established. The only concern I have is the matter raised by Sen. Hassan about the future without the two major protagonists. That could be a possible political solution. However, I am not sure whether it can be raised in this House. One cannot discuss the Head of State of a friendly foreign country without following certain procedures. Therefore, we cannot do that here. However, all options are open. I wish the people of South Sudan well and pray that they find lasting peace. Once more, I thank my brother, Sen. Wetangula, for raising this matter. I support."
