"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said earlier, it is usually the country to be visisted which makes the decision . When somebody wants to apply for a visa, that individual will make the decision, which is usually voluntary, and the individual decides whether they are going to pay the amount of money that that country is asking for. But in order to address the high visa fees charged by many of the embassies, including the USA, my Ministry is leading a process of negotiating with the USA and Britain for five-year visa extensions for students, diplomats, Government officials, hon. Members, tourists and business people from these three countries. This arrangement will greatly relieve Kenyans of the burden of making frequent trips to the USA Embassy or paying the US$131 which they pay every time they make an application to travel to the USA. I believe that the USA, the British and any other government we are having bilateral discussions with will consider this to be a matter of urgency and give us the necessary support, so that we can help our people."
