    "content": "Thank you very much, hon. Speaker. I really would have wished to speak in the previous Motion, but that has been overtaken by events now. I wish to support the nomination of those very capable Kenyans to their respective diplomatic stations. I have had an opportunity during my tour of service in Government to work with so many of those nominees. I have worked very closely with hon. Sam Ongeri when I was in the Ministry of Higher Education, hon. Chirau Mwakwere, hon. Robinson Githae, hon. Kiema Kilonzo, Joseph Magut, hon. Sheikh Dor, Rukia Subow, Prof. George Godia, and Mr. Maikara who was my colleague in the Public Service. We worked together in Central Province as District Officers. He is a brilliant officer. All of them fit the bill. I would like to ask this House to approve the nomination of all of them. Of course, we have one of them with very low credentials, but because Article 2(7) of our Constitution says that no Kenyan should be discriminated against on whatever basis, I wish to support. Quite a number of them have the requisite qualifications, abilities and competencies to deliver on their mandates. Hon. Speaker, as we get new ambassadors to those new stations, they must know that they must deliver to Kenyans especially on the subject of international trade. They must ensure that balance of trade is always in favour of this country."
