    "content": "In the Statement, the Committee should state: (1) The measures that have been put in place to improve the state of our embassies indicating whether there is any policy or continued plans to address the same. (2) Give reasons why taxpayers continue to shoulder exorbitant rents for Kenyan diplomats even where the country owns property because of lack of maintenance, despite the Kenyan Government having embassy properties that are supposed to house diplomats. (3) State the measures being put in place to streamline the services offered by the Kenyan embassies and the consulates abroad to ensure that Kenyans get efficient and timely services. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is need to do some sort of audit of our embassies and high commissions abroad. Why is intra-Africa communication not happening at all? We were in Ethiopia a few months ago and what we saw was deplorable. The ambassador had to be literally rescued from her house because it had cracked and it could fall. It has not fallen yet but what we saw was pathetic. Members of the Committee on Information, Communication and Technology were there and we saw it. That is supposed to be our face abroad---"
