Topeka — A bill that would divest the Kansas public pension system of holdings in companies that invest in Sudan has been approved by the Legislature.
The measure now goes to Gov. Kathleen Sebelius for her consideration.
The Kansas Public Employees Retirement System has about $38 million of its $12 billion in assets linked to companies with some ties in Sudan.
Sudan's government has been blamed for atrocities in an ethnic conflict in the Darfur region.

Why just Sudan? This is silly. It is like putting one of those magnetic ribbons on your car.

Don't get me started on the impending disaster lurking in the future for Africa.
Funny; I suggest doing nothing in reference to that Dark Continent and am pilloried, called a “racist” and generally raised H+ll at but if Komrade Kathy signs a bill which will a clearly negative effect on the economy of an African nation, she will be applauded as a great “humanitarian”!
Whatsupwiththat?
Thanks.
