    "content": "I do not know why the Government opted to transport some individuals by bus and others by air. It is important if the reasons behind that action are clarified. I need to go back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to get more information. Regarding the number of Kenyans, the embassies are facing a lot of challenges, not necessarily in South Sudan. As a Committee and Government, we advised that all Kenyans should register with their Embassy for their safety. Unfortunately, some of them do not want to register with the Embassy because they have gone to those countries through some panya routes or maybe they do not want to register. It has been a concern of the Committee on several occasions even when we met with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs both locally and internationally. We have requested them to register with the Embassy. I cannot confirm how many refugees have fled to Kenya so far since this is a new issue for clarification sought by the Member. Concerning the Government’s actions to bring peace to South Sudan, I have enumerated several measures that are being taken in bringing peace to South Sudan. This is very important for Kenyans living there and for the country. I can confirm to the House that there are other steps that are being taken by the Government apart from what I have read. Kenya is doing a lot to make sure that South Sudan is peaceful. I may not be able to tell how many refugees are being allowed, but I will bring additional information in a week’s time. About issuing travel documents to Kenyans and providing security until they arrive, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is taking action but I will be able to discuss with the Ministry and ask them to continue providing the travel documents until calm is restored in South Sudan. I am unable to confirm the situation in Turkana and the safety of the county in terms of the problem in South Sudan. I will be able to clarify on that in a week’s time. About Kenya’s policy regarding the people working in South Sudan---"
