    "content": "I want to put it very clearly that this Bill addresses most of the gaps that we found in the Foreign Service in the Ministry starting with staffing, conduct of officers, secondment of officers, training and local agreement. More importantly, it also gives power to the missions to do their best in the globe. We realised the biggest gap was the code of conduct of our officers out there. Surely, you are appointed as an ambassador and when you go to a foreign country there are no guidelines. As Parliament we are putting foreign affairs in order so that we do not lose any more trade and our image out there. I believe Members will support us. This is because we are already working on the best regulations to ensure Kenya gets the best face in the globe. Also, to get the image we are looking for to market this country and get back the lost glory. I support and believe this will be the guiding principle for all missions and officers seconded from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
