    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 10 and substituting therefor the following new clause— Establishment of Missions of the Republic. 10. (1) The Cabinet Secretary may recommend, and upon approval by Cabinet, establish a Mission in accordance with the provisions of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, 1961, the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, 1963, and the provisions of treaties and conventions establishing intergovernmental organisations and agencies. (2) In recommending the establishment of a Mission and any office of the Foreign Service abroad, the Cabinet Secretary shall be guided by the Kenyan foreign policy. (3) The Cabinet Secretary shall, with the approval of Cabinet— (a) prescribe the territorial accreditation boundaries of a Mission; (b) amalgamate two or more Missions; or (c) close or downgrade a Mission. Hon. Chairman, at times, we open new missions abroad. In diplomacy, they say that you cannot close down a mission, but you can down scale it. So, for those two purposes of opening and downscaling, the cabinet secretary needs to get approval at the Cabinet level since it is a function of the national Government. I beg to move."
