    "content": "We, therefore, demand that without further delay, the National Treasury releases the funds that are due for operations of the Senate Liaison Offices and for the salaries of our staff. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the matter of the PS Foreign Affairs, it is disappointing. We, as a continent, as the African Union (AU), are fighting to make sure that we have no borders to increase the volume of trade and enable us as Africans to exploit the natural resources we have. However, we are here castigating a delegation who are already in Parliament. Mr. Speaker, Sir, where was the PS for Foreign Affairs when those people travelled from Somaliland and landed at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA)? They were already walking around in the City of Nairobi and they only found it necessary as a matter of loyalty to increase trade within Africa and African countries. This was to make sure that the resources that are available in Kenya and the benefits that they can derive cannot be lost to Europe. It is time we have a conversation on how we want to make trade easy for African countries. I agree with the Senator of Vihiga, the Senator of Kitui, Sen. Wambua, and the rest of the Senators, that the Committee for Defence and Foreign Affairs, should summon that PS. He should not only appear before it, but he must appear in the Committee of the Whole of the House. Since we have other issues we would also like to find out how that Ministry is being run. I submit."
