    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. I also want to join my colleagues in supporting the appointment of Major General Lucas Tumbo as the Kenyan Ambassador to the Federal Republic of Somalia. I was looking at the constitutional aspect. I found that the Major-General is qualified for the job. Although some of my friends are lamenting about diplomacy and so on, I can see that he has a Bachelors Degree in International Studies and Diplomacy from Washington University, USA, and a Diploma in International Studies from the University of Nairobi, a Diploma in Strategic Studies from Kansas University, USA, a Diploma in Development Policy, USA, a Diploma in Security and Development from the National Institute of Higher Education in France, among other certificates contained in his booklet. He also has an element of humanitarian law from Accra. On the aspect of regional and ethnic balance, I note that he best fits because of where he comes from. The qualifications of the Major-General are diverse. This is what you need, including his age. That is because the kind of issues he is going to deal with will be quite diverse. We need somebody who has not only learnt about certain things, but who has also had practical experience. With these qualifications, plus the postings that he has had in various countries, he should be able to tackle the issues that we have to deal with to normalise our relations with Somalia."
