"content": " Let me put it on record. As a father of many highly educated and beautiful girls, I support the nomination of Ms Susan as our representative. I only want to give her a word of encouragement that this technical organisation she has been appointed to is not like the Ministry of Health. The Ministry of Health was a State Department in the Kenyan context. She is going to interact with the whole world. If she was here, she would be taking notes now. I am trying to tell her that this is a technical UN arm. I should be allowed to offer free advice, because I may not see her. I attempted to see her from February 2024 until she was removed as the Cabinet Secretary, and I failed to get an appointment. So, let me pass this message for free. In summary, when you are appointed to this very important portfolio to represent the President and the people of Kenya, it is not an assignment for you to make a living. It is an assignment to promote this country so that we benefit from your representation, and this is what I am trying to allude to. At UN-Habitat, you represent one of the refugee-dominated towns in Kenya. Our representation in this organisation should benefit the people of Dadaab and Kakuma. This is what I am trying to say. I have no doubt she will do the job. Somebody has been appointed to Kinshasa. As a country, we are lucky to have not gone through militarism and you know it. We are lucky, but are we courageous enough to address the pitfalls and the missed opportunities?"

"content": " I have expectations from these individuals who have been appointed to these positions. I want to mention ten expectations of Hon. Adan Keynan as a Member of Parliament of Eldas and the longest-serving Member of Parliament. These are my expectations: 1. Promote Kenya's Foreign Policy and provide services not only to Kenyans, but to all. 2. Build and strengthen bilateral relations that can benefit the people of Kenya. This is the era of multilateralism and bilateralism. Going out to these organisations must enhance Kenya's presence in the international community. 3. Enhance our national security and regional stability. You know the situation in this region. Look at what is happening, such as the challenges in South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Somalia, Ethiopia and the entire region. Kenya has been an icon of peace. This must be protected and promoted so that Kenya continues to be an island of peace. 4. Enhance our economic and trade expansion. I want you to compare for a minute the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the Republic of Kenya with that of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

Is that where we are supposed to be? Look at the GDP of Tanzania and Uganda. This is my prayer to these individuals: once you are given this job, please work hard for our economic expansion so that many unemployed and underemployed youth can get opportunities."

Ethiopia just defaulted on their loan; Kenya has never. So, I just wanted to inform him that in terms of economic performance, we are doing better than Ethiopia. They are on the right trajectory, but Kenya is doing better."

These are valued representatives of the people of Kenya, contributing immensely to our economic well-being. 6. Protect the interests of the Kenyan citizens abroad. 7. Advocate for Kenya's global position so that it remains a key player in all international organisations. Also do strategic networking and influence. Hon. Temporary Speaker, this is why lobbying is an emerging field in the world. If you go to the United States of America (USA) today, lobbying is the best-paid job."
