    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Report. I would like to start by congratulating the Committee for a job very well done and also notify the House that the Departmental Committee on Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations works very closely with my Committee. I serve in the Select Committee on Regional Integration. We need to work well with the Departmental Committee on Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations for us to integrate well and for prosperity. I would like to speak to the 27 nominees and ask them to maintain and improve our foreign relations. They should be kind to Kenyans, especially students. We hear very sad stories every time we travel overseas and attempt to hold a dinner with Kenyans abroad. Kenyan students get stranded because their passports have expired or are about to expire. They try to reach our embassies but they do not get any help. The Departmental Committee on Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations needs to explain to this House the job description of ambassadors. What is their work? How can a student or Kenyan be stranded in China or India yet we have an embassy there flying our flag? I urge these nominees to be kind. They should get out of their offices and try to understand Kenyans living in the countries they are stationed to represent us. We debated Sessional Paper No.1 of 2023 yesterday on the accuracy of data in planning. We spoke about the billions of shillings that we get from Kenyans who work and live The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
