    "content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, under Article 78(1) and (2) of the Constitution, he is eligible as a Kenyan by birth and by oath, and bound by dual ties. Academically, he has a Master's in both numbers and strategy. He holds a Master of Business Administration in Strategy, Planning and a Bachelor of Commerce in Finance from the University of Nairobi. His career has spanned from boardrooms and ministries, from PriceWaterhouseCooper's to founding and leading consulting firms to serving as Principal Secretary of the State Department for East African Community (EAC) Affairs, where he did not watch regional integration from the sidelines; he led it. He negotiated, coordinated, and safeguarded Kenya's position in Arusha. Now, he returns, not as a visitor, but as our chosen voice as a Consul-General. In leadership, Fidhow has not only managed budgets, but also steered, reformed, inspired teams, and delivered results. He is a builder of bridges. His vision for the consulate is clear and forward-looking to deepen Kenya-Tanzania relations, advance regional integration, empower Kenyan Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), and strengthen consular service delivery to Kenyans. The Committee, therefore, recommends the appointment of Mr Abdi Dubat Fidhow as Consul-General of Kenya to Arusha, United Republic of Tanzania without reservations. The late Kofi Annan once said: “More than ever before in history, we share a common destiny”. In appointing these envoys, we are not just filling posts, we are entrusting the future of Kenya's voice in a shared regional and global journey. Diplomacy is the art of building bridges, securing peace, and advancing prosperity."
