    "content": "Let us be very honest. The same hon. Members here could not allow hon. Balala and hon. Ngilu to take up the appointments, when their names were brought here as Cabinet Secretary nominees. Let us not have double-speak. Hon. Speaker, Sir, I want to say it very clearly that the people we have at the helm of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are people who know that they can brand Kenya. They are people we know that when we walk into airports and into other countries, we will walk with our heads high. We do not want Cabinet Secretaries and Principal Secretaries in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who visit rich oil countries like South Arabia and instead of selling Kenya, they ask for money. It has happened! We know there are Cabinet Ministers, instead of selling Kenya as a country with good wildlife; they were saying--- The reports are there. There were Ministers who used to say, let us sit across the corner. They asked for money. We have passed the Political Parties Bill and it came to this House; the funding mechanisms. Political parties are very rich. That is why under the new Constitution, a Cabinet Secretary is not a politician. So, we expect Eng. Karanja Kibicho, please go with your tools and make sure every door in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is compliant. Ms. Amina Abdalla, we have confidence in you, you are a diplomat. Make sure you read the riot act to the diplomats and return all the relatives of the big people back and make sure you replace them with Kenyans who are qualified. Thank you."
