    "content": "Elda, UDA): Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This is a very important Motion. Diplomacy is defined as the art, science, and means by which nations and groups conduct their affairs in a way that projects the image of a particular country. This is done in a way that promotes and protects the interests of that particular country. Having said that, under the Vienna Convention, which is the mother of all diplomatic engagements, there are certain critical issues that a diplomat is expected to undertake. In the Kenyan context, allow me to say this: As a country, we are not doing well. We must call a spade a spade. I am glad that the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party are here. Once upon a time, this country was the epicentre of all economic activities in the region and the pride of many Sub-Saharan African States. Our economy is struggling. A few years back, this country was the epicentre of humanitarian activities, but today we are struggling. This country is supposed to be the hub of infrastructure, communication and security. That is the Kenya we wanted. As much as our intention is to give jobs to individuals who qualify, paper qualifications are not enough. You must have the zeal, determination, and the will to represent Kenya as a premier republic. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
