    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you very much, indeed. I also want to make a very brief comment on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and to say that I want to congratulate the Minister for presenting his Vote very well. I think he has a very good team. Both of them, he, the Minister and my hon. friend, Mr. Wetangula, whom I consider in many deliberations in this House to have been a star performer. I have one small comment to make. Foreign missions must project the face of Kenya, the nation of Kenya. We must avoid situations where we send out people who are lean towards a few individuals, either in the Government or in the Opposition, and who, if properly scrutinised, will, probably, end up being political activists. I really want the officers who are sent out there to project the image of Kenya as a nation, and not to project the image of individuals. It is also very important to make sure the Minister does appointments which cut across the board in this country. I am saying they should cover most of Kenya's regions or even ethnic groups. I am told that - I am not very sure of this - a mission like the one in London is degenerating into organising themselves as a tribal enclave. I do not know how true this is, because I have not gone there for the last two years. But these are situations that we must avoid."
