    "content": "I am very happy that Sen. Wetangula is going back to the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations. We should not forget the fact that Sen. Moses Wetangula served as a very able Foreign Minister of this country during the very successful Grand Coalition Government. You will remember that he found himself in problems in West Africa, serving this country. We did not know that he would come back but thank God that he came back. We need such selfless people; people who are ready to lay their lives for Kenyans like Moses did when he was serving as the Minister for Foreign Affairs. This region is facing challenges in foreign relations. You saw President Museveni last night on television saying that we should not accept moral decadence from the West under the guise of human rights. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, time has come for this country to take back foreign relations where it was during the time of the late Munyua Waiyaki when he said that the great South African doctor, Christian Bernard, would come back to this country over his dead body and Kenya was respected for taking firm positions in foreign relations. The days of wait and see foreign policies are long gone and Kenya will not make a mark in international relations if we do not take firm stands like what President Museveni has done. So, we would like this Committee to be more aggressive and promote patriotism and nationalism, and act in the fundamental interest of the people of Kenya. I support Sen. Moses Wetangula to go back to theses Committees because I know that he is going to give it the punch and bring in a wealth of experience. He knows all those characters there. He confronted them at that time and I am sure that he is going to do it again. My brother, you are most welcome back to that particular Committee. We have been missing your very sober mind in the Rules and Business Committee. Of course, your training as a lawyer---"
