    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Report. I also want to thank Hon. Mbarire for her input. What is really important about this visit if for us to evaluate whether the missions we have out there serve Kenya’s national interests. Is the Kenyan taxpayers’ money in those missions getting value? Thirdly, in terms of representation, both diplomatic and otherwise, are they fit for the purpose? We are very proud of the Kenyans who represent us out there at different levels in the missions. Sometimes we are under very difficult conditions. They represent us and they hold our flag high. What is currently out there is economic diplomacy. When countries send representatives, they do it so that they gain something out of the presence of that mission, embassy or high commission. During our study, we visited different stations. Hon. Muturi talked about Saudi Arabia and the Middle East. I think it is not among the stations that were visited. I hope the Chairman has noted that it is important that we cover the different continents during the year, funds being available."
