    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, in 1990 the public sector reforms were recommended throughout the Government. It begun in earnest in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 2007 when an inter-ministerial task force was established to conduct an audit of the Ministry’s structures and operations. As a result of that, recommendations were made by this task force and they proposed that staffing needed to be done within the missions in a rationalized manner. The issue that was raised was that the officers who were going to work in embassies abroad would become multi-skilled and multi-tasked to ensure that this exercise would be conducted effectively. Therefore, that actually happened because of rationalization, cost-cutting and all the other recommendations that were made by that task force. The recommendations were that we would no longer hire Education Attachés but the other officers who were working in these embassies would be trained to work and effectively serve the Kenyan public as pertaining to educational matters. That is exactly what has been going on."
