    "content": "Relations. I rise to support this Motion as presented with the rider that is included. I am a strict observer of the law. There is absolutely no doubt that you do not qualify to hold a State office, under the Leadership and Integrity Act, when you hold dual citizenship. In that Act, a State office includes that of a high commissioner and an ambassador. For record purposes, I know Ms. Mwende Mwinzi, who comes from Mwingi. That is my neighbourhood. She is a very good lady; a lady of integrity who is learned. She came to this country in the late 1970s with her parents, who were living in America. That is the only reason she has dual citizenship. The correct position is that she has lived in Kenya ever since. Therefore, she has even schooled in Kenya. That makes it mandatory that we appoint her, but she must have total loyalty to our country by being a citizen of this country only. With those remarks, I support the Motion with the rider that she denounces her American citizenship before she is appointed Kenya’s Ambassador to South Korea."
