    "content": "But the more I listened to Members contributing to this Motion, the more I ask myself some fundamental questions. If you look at most of the countries the officers are going to and consider balance of trade, you realise that it is actually not in favour of Kenya. One of the key responsibilities of ambassadors is to make sure they promote trade between Kenya and those other countries. The other important responsibility is promoting international and regional co- operation. But I really wish to see a situation whereby the Committee chaired by my friend, Hon. ole Katoo, continues monitoring those individuals when they take up the positions so that, at the end of the day, we have very clear outputs in improving international co-operation and improving the balance of trade. We are not doing well. International relationships have shifted; they are more of trading than getting grants and loans. So, it is very critical that those individuals also play a key role in promoting trade between Kenya and the countries they have been posted."
