HON. SENATOR S. B. SEEISO: Ke lebohe Ntate ka uena a very comprehensive and elaborate, an informative Answer by the Honourable Minister. Ntate kea leboha kea bona bohlanka tlasa your stewardship has improved. Ke buoa joalo ka boomo. But what the Question was aimed to tease out, you have elaborated ka mokhoa o hlakileng Ntate. It was for us to continue to remember what is a foreign service, what is the main … of the Ministry. It is an eye or gateway for our friends abroad to see who and what we are. In other words, striving to have the best people on the ground is something that prerequisite for a well-functioning Ministry and for Missions. Hobane joalo ka ha Ntate u hlalositse the element of us having to couple naha ea England for example the UK is coupled with Spain …and other international organizations.

Taba ea hore re na le High Commissioner feela kapa Councilor and First Secretary means that those people on the ground need to be doubling up because of their ability, doubling up on assignment hobane ha ba le babeli they cannot cover those 4 countries or International Organizations.

It is imperative and important, ke mona moo ke reng na Ntate the issue of the career service eo esale re e bua kahar’a Ntlo ena how far are we as well in trying to work towards a foreign service that career-based not necessarily based on the whim of the incumbent Minister or the whim of the incumbent administration hobane that also has shown hore e ba another element of having people who do not value or people who know that  they are going to be appointed because of their political affiliation more than their capabilities. Na ebe Ntate taba ee ea career service eona ebe e se e le ha kae to come into operation so that we can have missions that they can perform to the optimum level na?
