• 13 Jul 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to make a Statement under Standing Order No.45(2)(a) on a matter of general topical concern. In fact, it is a matter of national concern. I can see the Vice- Chairperson of the Committee on Security and Defence in the House. We are all aware that the situation in South Sudan is very volatile. There have been very serious fights on the 9th July, 2016 where over 200 people were killed because of exchanges of fire between the combatants of the President and his first Vice President. We are aware that we have ... view
