As the former Chair of the Amani Forum, I believe that this very honourable House of the Republic of Kenya has no right to discuss issues of another nation. I do not see the role that Kenya will be playing. Apart from supporting a peaceful referendum in Southern Sudan, I do not see any other reason as to why the Parliament of the Republic of Kenya should be prompting the outcome of another country’s referendum. I seek your direction on this Motion because I do not think it is necessary."}
