    "content": "in foreign countries. Our ambassadors should also get accurate data of Kenyans who live in foreign countries. We are aware that there are those who live there with papers and others without. I urge our ambassadors to give the real situation of any country they represent so that when Kenyans are planning to travel, they can do so wisely. For instance, the Canadian Embassy is currently issuing hundreds of visitors’ visas. When Kenyans land in Canada with a visitor’s visa because they are trying to find better opportunities and greener pastures, they cannot work and end up sleeping on the streets. We challenge ambassadors to inform Kenyan citizens of the real situation on the ground. They should know that they need a work permit to work in a foreign country. Failure to obtain one will mean that they cannot work. I am happy with this list because it has a number of women. This House also has a number of women. I want to speak about persons with disabilities. I do not want to speak about women because there are many women on the list and we have already spoken about them. I do not see any ambassador representing persons with disabilities. Persons with disabilities have proven themselves to be hard workers. I urge our President and the Government, which I am part of, that persons with disabilities would be happy if they found one of their own on this list. We appreciate that Hon. Mwaura is the Government Spokesperson and he is doing very well. He has proven that he can perform well. We look forward to having one or two persons with disabilities on future lists."
