    "content": "I request to be heard in silence. Although you have already settled the contentious issue, Members will agree that the Committee of this House, which I have the privilege to chair, did its research with its legal and research team of the National Assembly. The Committee provided the House with a Report that is in compliance with the Constitution and the relevant laws. The nominees are seven; four women and three men. All the seven nominees meet the educational qualifications as required, although there is no specific academic qualification that is prescribed for one to be an Ambassador. However, I would like to say that they are all Kenyans who are well read. They are all university graduates. Five out of the seven with an exception of Mr. Mubea and Ms. Mwende Mwinzi, are all career diplomats who have served for a very long time in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade. Some have served for as long as 35 years, 27 years, 37 years and the least are 15 years. These are career diplomats in the Ministry who have served this country with dedication and passion. They have served in so many missions. Some have served in Dubai, London, Lusaka, Khartoum, Pretoria, Juba, Brasilia, to name just but a few. These are career diplomats. Each of the five I am talking about has served not in one mission, but as many as four. They have even served as directors in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade in charge of some of the pillars of our foreign policy. Some have served as cultural directors and others as Diaspora directors."
