"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I too rise to support this very important Motion. I wish to congratulate Mr. Ethuro for finding time and the wording that captures the mood that is summarized in the CPA that was signed in Kenya and which places a positive obligation on the part of the Kenyan Government to guarantee that there is an environment in which the people of Sudan are able to take part in the referendum and vote one way or the other. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as the founding Chair of the AMANI Forum, you will recall that you travelled with me to Sudan and we had the opportunity to travel all over the Southern Sudan, including Khartoum. The will of the people at the time – and it remains the will of the people of Sudan – is that the people of Southern Sudan ought to be given an opportunity to make a decision whether or not to be part of Sudan. We, as a country, played a critical role – and it is one of those roles that we have to acknowledge that was played by the former President of this Republic and Lt. Gen. Sumbeiywo – to get the CPA signed under the circumstances where the world did not believe that the people of Sudan would agree even on the mechanisms of holding a referendum."
