    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to join my colleagues in congratulating Sen. Halake. Embassies and high commissions abroad are meant to be the face of this country. Indeed, like it has been said here, when you go to some embassies, you want to run away because the situation is pathetic. How can we expect the people in those nations to do what they are required to do for this country when they live in pathetic situations? It is more than 50 years since we got our Independence and we are the only country that does not own property. Where we have property, it is dilapidated because we do not take care of it. I wish to join my other colleagues in urging the Government that it is time we bought our own property out there. I wish to retract the statement that we should buy our properties because we have Kenya House in London and other places but all of them are dilapidated. The Committee that will look into issues raised in this Statement should urge the Government to be serious. What will happen if journalists go to the Kenyan Embassy in Ethiopia and find it crumbling? What will they think about our country? That is where the African Union sits. It is a shame."
