    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is indeed aware that the Government of Kenya had intended the campaign for Amb. Azad Rana for the position of Director General of United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and informed His Excellency the Ambassador/Permanent Representative to the Kenya Mission to the United Nations in Vienna that the Ministry of Trade had committed Kshs10 million to assist in the financing. The Ministry is also aware that a budget of Kshs20,295,000 was agreed upon to facilitate this campaign. The reason Amb. Azad Rana has not been given these funds even when the Government committed to it is because of, I would assume, a little bit of negligence and to a large extent the fact that nobody followed up this matter to its logical conclusion. Mr. Speaker, Sir, before I make any further statements on consultation with the hon. Member who asked this Question, we also felt that it is important that we seek some interpretation from the Attorney-General’s Office and the legal office within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs so that I can then come with a substantive promise on what the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is going to do."
