    "content": "The whole truth, Mr. Speaker, Sir, and nothing but the truth. If you look at the HANSARD Report when Mr. Affey was discussing this issue, he said--- I have the authority that allowed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to do the same. I just want to read this letter which is addressed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It was written on the 16th February, 2007 by the Permanent Secretary to the Cabinet and Head of the Public Service. In this letter, the ambassador is insinuating that since January 2001 the ambassadors who worked for the Republic of Kenya were never given a salary increment. I have proven beyond reasonable doubt that actually these ambassadors have been given salary increments three times. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other point that I want to make is that to add on to what has already been explained by myself, and my Ministry, the allowances which the ambassadors are earning right now have increased from US$5,600 in 2006 to US$7,000 in the United States of America (USA) and £9,200 in the United Kingdom (UK). In other words, the increment in allowances is actually 40 per cent above what they were earning before. The difference of the salary increment, which the Ambassador is talking looking at the figures which he has presented from the letter which I have in front of me, is a difference of Kshs16,000."
