    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to make a comment on this Statement. Prior to coming to this House, I used to be the Chairperson of the African Commission on Nuclear Energy (AFCONE). We had offices in South Africa and Addis Ababa. I noticed that the ability of our embassies there to effectively serve us was limited because other than the rundown facilities that have been pointed out by my colleague, they were not funded. When the Committee brings us the information, it will be proper to also look at the state of funding or financial support given to our embassies, so that they do not just become mere vestige but can dispense the services that we expect of them. I also visited Vienna when I served at the AFCONE and the state of our embassy was wanting. There was no funding and we could not hold meetings that would enable the nation to interact. So, the state of financial and technical support that includes the personnel is wanting. A status evaluation of what is happening would be appropriate for this House."
