    "content": " Ambassador Betty Cherwon not Cherono. She is also a career diplomat. They have all previously served this country in other stations. We not only scrutinised their capacities but also their knowledge of the areas that they have been assigned to. We scrutinised their academic qualifications and integrity. We did that against the backdrop of fair administration of justice in that you are only proven guilty after you have been convicted. That was with regard to Mr George Macgoye because the EACC flagged him out. The EACC should not just flag out someone without giving proper details. If an issue has not been escalated to a charge, it cannot be used to deny someone the opportunity to serve this country. These ambassadors will represent the good “face” of Kenya out there on behalf of the President, and in terms of furthering the pillars of our foreign policy, economic relations and the diaspora. They must be a one-stop shop for Kenyans out there, as other Members have said. I say so because we experience conflicts like the current one between Palestine and Israel. I remember that we asked the Ambassador who will be posted there whether he would evacuate Kenyans. Kenyans should be confident that if they are in a country that is on the brink of war, they can be helped by the Government to exit. An embassy should be a one-stop shop where they will be assured of assistance. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
