Mr. Speaker, Sir, this third picture goes beyond just the picture. I think in your ruling, I want to urge you to go beyond that picture. Rules of etiquette in comparable jurisdictions the world over; live broadcasts in Parliament normally focus on the Chair and the Member on the floor. In this House, we have seen many times, cameras only focusing on Members who are resting their eyes; I do not want to say dosing. They also focus on Members who are stressed, just to show a bad picture of hon. Members. In this evolution of using live coverage, I ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I cannot account for the whereabouts of the Minister and his Assistant Minister but, be that as it may, he could possibly have gone to Naivasha with the mistaken belief that the seminar was on. In that case, I seek your indulgence for the Question to be answered next week.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, there were two links to your direction. First, everybody ought to have been here and that we had a duty to vote.

I saw him last night. So, he was one of those Members who were enthusiastic about coming for the meeting and came ahead of time.

The embassy in Tokyo, Japan, the residence of the ambassador caught fire at the time when the Prime Minister was on his first visit to Japan. It burnt down completely; investigations are still going on and once I get the outcome, I will furnish it to this House. The actual chancery is safe and it is in use. I also know that the hon. Member has previously asked me why we have not sent an ambassador to Japan for about six months. I want to assure him and the House that a new ambassador has been appointed, and will take ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is a whole lot of difference between appointment and pronouncement. There has been an appointment; there has not been a pronouncement and I am not the appointing or pronouncing authority. The pronouncing authority is the appointing authority. So, it will be done in due course.
