    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also stand to support this Motion by Hon. Ruweida on the establishment of a priority boarding protocol for KDF and the special forces personnel on local airlines. Those brave men and women have dedicated their lives to protecting our country and its borders, and ensuring our safety as a nation. It is only fitting that we honour them by providing them with that privilege. Since those officers work in various stations across the country, I hope and believe that the Government, through the concerned Ministry, will look into this. This will ensure that our Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) are given priority in boarding at the airports and buses. As a result, the officers will reach their designated work stations early enough and deliver their mandate effectively. I would like to use this opportunity to send my condolences to the family and friends of the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) and other officers who perished last week in the military helicopter crash. On behalf of my family and the people of Vihiga County, I send my condolences. It is very sad to us as a nation. The men and women who serve in KDF should be given the necessary respect and priority in everything. This will ensure that they lead comfortable lives and ease their movements around. We have visited other jurisdictions in the world and seen how their service men and women are given priority in everything. Hon. Ruweida has brought this Motion at the right time. I support it and urge other Members to support those men and women who do great work for our nation. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
