    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. My colleagues have highlighted the qualifications of Major General (Rtd) Tumbo and I will not pretend that I have gone to school with him like others. I will not pretend I have worked with him like one of our colleagues. I have not met him. My able colleagues in the Departmental Committee for Defence and Foreign Relations have interviewed him and have recommended to us that we approve. So, I approve and I support the Motion. I only want to give what I would call the terms of reference from the people of Rangwe to the new ambassador of Somalia after this House approves him. Somalia has become a source of contraband goods and illegal immigrants into this country. We expect the new ambassador who is a general to stay in Somalia in Mogadishu because we have generals fighting there. He can as well be with them there and not sit here in Nairobi. We expect him to go to Mogadishu and negotiate with the Government of Somalia to tighten immigration and customs to ensure that no people come into Kenya illegally and no contraband goods get into Kenya. Contraband sugar is a serious threat to local sugar production. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker--- (Technical hitch) This is a retired general of the army. We expect him to coordinate intelligence to end terrorism that emanates from Somalia. We expect that Somalia is going to be a very important export market for The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
