I also did not have a chance to contribute to this Vote - the Ministry may need to scale down its staff. I would also wish that all Kenyans living abroad must be registered in a register kept 3592 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES August 29, 2007 in the embassy office. I think that is important, so that when you are looking for Kenyans who have strayed, you know where to go. Thank you, and I beg to support."}
