    "content": "The hon. Member for Mandera East wanted to know when the Kenyan Embassy in Mogadishu is going to be operationalized. I want to say “operationalized” because we do have a mission. We have recognized the Transistional Federal Government of Somalia. So, it is a question of operationalizing the embassy. For quite sometime, the security situation was such that it was dangerous to post our staff to Mogadishu. So, the reason why the Embassy has continued to operate from Nairobi is purely as a result of the security situation in Mogadishu. We have continued to review that, given the fact that, unlike other countries which have now posted missions in Somalia, Kenya has got troops now inside Somalia. That poses a further security threat to our mission there. But as and when the security situation allows, our staff will move from Nairobi and relocate to Mogadishu."
