    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you read through the last part of the Motion, you will find that it calls for a recall of the Ambassador. We are not calling for a complete diplomatic breakdown between Kenya and the USA. We are calling for a recall of the Ambassador. We have a problem as a leadership with the personal conduct of the Ambassador in terms of dealing with this country. We have more than 175 High Commissioners and Ambassadors in this country from the Middle East, Europe, Africa and Asia. We are discussing the conduct of the USA Ambassador to Kenya because of how he portrayed himself. I do not want to go to the Wikileaks . However, the issue of funding youth organizations is an open secret. The Ambassador in his own words said that they have pumped more than US$500 million to bring a revolution in this country. I think that is against the tenets of the Constitution we passed four months ago. The new Constitution says that the Kenyan people have a right under the Constitution to elect their Government after every five years. It is not whether you will bring a revolution to the youth, empower the women or the elders, it is for the people of Kenya. I want to say here clearly that we love our friends and we want them to come and build governance institutions. We want them to build the capacity of the youth and women and men leadership in this country so that one day the people of this country in their wisdom will elect Governments and representatives. I have a problem with this Motion considering the Vienna Convention which has sections that provide how a Government can recall an ambassador. That is not addressed"
