Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Would you like to be informed by the Senator from Nandi? February 19, 2025 SENATE DEBATES 39 Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Thank you.

Sen. Boni, beyond the point of information on the Encyclopedia, I think the question was whether Janjaweed is located in Kenya. I think that is what Sen. Eddy was asking.

On a point of information, Madam Temporary Speaker.

Would you like to be informed by the Senator from Nandi?

Anybody can inform me.

Okay. Proceed, Sen. Cherarkey.

Madam Temporary Speaker, on a point of information. The issue of Janjaweed started in 2003, and by 2013, the Janjaweed created an offshoot called Rapid Support Forces (RSF) . Consequently, when you refer to RSF and Janjaweed, they are of the same family, but different species, if you did biology....

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker.

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale
