    "content": "Remissions! Rubbish! That is rubbish. What would a toilet cleaner remain with to remit back home? Nothing. That should be used elsewhere and not when trying to justify our failure. Madam Temporary Speaker, President Mwai Kibaki not only created the ban; he did more. He established Diplomatic Missions to respond to this problem. What did he do? In 2007, the late President Mwai Kibaki went to the City of Kuwait and created a fully-fledged Embassy in the Republic of Kuwait. He further went to the City of Muscat in 2011 and established a fully-fledged Embassy in the Republic of Oman. He also went to the City of Doha in 2010 and established in the Republic of Qatar a fully-fledged Embassy. Finally, in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, he created two Embassies to serve the United Arab Emirates (UAE) because of the large population of Kenyans that we have there. This brings me to my comment on the competency of our Diplomats in this country. What do they go and do? They wait for Hon. Members in airports. When you land in Doha, Qatar, they are there waiting for you. “Yes Sir! Mheshimiwa. How is Kenya? Will you need some things?” They wheel your back. They should go away completely. They come there as ushers for Very Important People (VIPs) instead of responding to the dream that Kibaki had. The late President Mwai Kibaki wanted those Embassies there to engage the respective countries. We have serious conversations on their local labour laws, see how we can harmonize them with ours, speak to their religious beliefs,"
