    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Statement by Sen. Oketch Gicheru. As the relevant Committee investigates this matter, I request them to also investigate the question of distribution of members of staff within diplomatic missions. We know that whenever a President of the Republic of Kenya take Office, they undertake to reorganise missions, High Commissions and Embassies across the world where we have representation. That is so that they can reflect the policies which they intend to pursue. Mr. Speaker, Sir, a visit to very many diplomatic missions will reveal that Tana River County has very few representations in some of these missions. The Committee should give us the number of people who are in these different missions if they are complying with distribution across counties. People from one county, region or province dominate some missions, and yet they are representing Kenya. I have been to many diplomatic missions and this injustice continues. Not many people from the Coast region and Tana River County are in diplomatic missions. As they investigate the matter raised by Sen. Oketch Gicheru, they should also bring a report on the composition and personnel in terms of county distribution of members who are employed within diplomatic institutions representing Kenya outside there. We want fairness which must be seen and not just talked about."
