    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity to once again speak about the current topic of discussion. I rise to support the Report from the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations. I will be very brief. I concur with the Committee. I took personal interest to research and know a little more about these nominees. I agree that a number of them not only have a very high level of education, but also a wealth of experience in addition to their age. In some of these appointments and positions, we need people who are well-versed with the environment at home and that of the foreign countries where they are sent to represent the President and the people of Kenya. In the spirit of inclusivity, I encourage Kenyans of all categories to know that the youth, the middle-aged and the old all form the combination that can steer this country forward. We would like to inform Kenyans that these ambassadors and high commissioners act and speak in the interest of Kenyans. Even as I support the Committee in their urge to approve these names, as they take up their positions, I request these ambassadors and high commissioners to look at repositioning Kenya in trading activities with these countries and any other relations so that we get quality from all the places where they have been posted. Kenya is a peace-loving country. We look forward to promoting peace and development and for Kenyan citizens to get equal opportunities in any agenda that relates our country to others from these men and women of status in our country; so that we are not looked at as a lesser country. In whatever relationship they will be promoting or agenda that we are propagating, Kenyans will get their rightful positions in terms of participation, development and decisions that foster relationships between our country and the countries where they are posted. With that, I support the Motion."
