    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for telling hon. Members to listen to me. This Motion is extremely important, and I would like every hon. Member to listen and contribute to this particular Motion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as a good neighbour, responsible state and a country which has been, even at its worst moment during the post-election violence in 2007/2008, able to come together within two months and sort out its mess to the extent that we now have a Grand Coalition Government which is working, it is in our own interests to ensure that the situation in South Sudan is calm and peaceful, so that they can practise democracy and ensure that good governance prevails in that particular area. As in other parliaments in East and Central African, Members of the Kenyan Parliament are active members of the Amani Forum. The Amani Forum also took part in auditing the cost of the post-election violence in Kenya. As Members of this House, who are also members of the Amani Forum, we also came together and moved around the country to preach peace to our people. We believe that we made our modest contribution to the peaceful co-existence of our people. Although the work of national healing and reconciliation is ongoing, it is important that we also look beyond our borders to ensure that some of the lessons we have learnt, and some of the good practices that we have been able to achieve, are appreciated by our good neighbours."
