    "content": "(Kwale (CWR), ODM): Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to say that the response is accurate, what I expected and what was done. I want to use this opportunity to very highly commend the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for having done such a great job. As soon as they were called upon, they stepped into action to ensure these Kenyan students were evacuated, together with many other Kenyans affected directly or indirectly as well as, Hon. Omar Mwinyi’s daughter who was in Ukraine at the time the war started. We felt very proud to be Kenyans and we were very happy with the way the Kenyan Government responded. They quickly organised all their networks on the ground and ensured they urgently wrote letters to neighbouring countries like Poland. So, Kenyans had access to these countries. Also, they ensured those students were safe in the other countries as they prepared to come back to Kenya. I have one or two recommendations for the future that all Kenya embassies around the world should be prepared for such eventualities. They should have readily available ground support at the snap of the fingers to enable them evacuate students or other Kenyans in such a country and to provide food and emergency health care as need be. I also want to thank the Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs. They should keep up because previously, they were badly portrayed in such instances. Well done. Thank you, very much, Hon. Speaker."
