    "content": "for us to rush to Sudan. It is good to anticipate. Already there is a framework; the framework of the CPA where Kenya is the Chair of IGAD. We just wanted to make sure there is transparency and accountability and elections are held on time. That is where usually you get problems. The Kenyan position is very clear. We are neutral to the situation of Southern Sudan. It is up to the people of Sudan to agree and decide on where they want to go. In fact, in one party to allay the fears of our Muslim brothers, in our meeting, the Muslim brother in Southern Sudan came out strongly to say, “we are going to take a position as people of Southern Sudan. So, religion is not an issue here”. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is the first time I have disagreement with hon. Amina, which is healthy and fair. I just want to mention to her and I owe it to her as a former Member of the Executive Committee of AMANI, that the regional AMANI Forum had a meeting in Nairobi last year and mandated the Kenya Chapter the leadership both in Southern Sudan and in Somalia. On Somaliland, as Members have requested, as a forum, we have already written to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to start taking action on those areas. This just confirms one thing, that this Parliament is a different Parliament. This country has registered tremendous trends in terms of Parliamentary democracy. We walk tall in the region. We walk tall in Africa. We want to be the leader in Parliamentary democracy. With those few remarks, I beg to move and urge every Member to support."
