    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. I have only two points to make. One is on the issue of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. A lot of reductions have been made on this Second Supplementary Estimates Budget. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation was unfairly targeted in the reduction. I will give two examples among so many where the Ministry lost money. This afternoon, I issued a statement on the plight of Kenyans in China, India and other foreign countries with regard to the COVID-19 pandemic. With the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation losing Kshs439 million on recurrent expenditure on its missions abroad, definitely these missions will not be able to respond to distress calls from Kenyans in foreign countries. For example, if we take three countries, China, India and the United States of America, they are so vast. In China, we have an embassy in Beijing and a consulate in Guangzhou. In India, we have one in New Delhi and in the USA, we have a fully-fledged mission in Washington DC. We also have the same in New York and Los Angeles. These missions have no recurrent money to respond to these distress calls. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
