    "content": " I join my colleagues in eulogising the loss that we had. The last one week has been a dark one since we lost our Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) and nine other officers. I was honoured to work with General Ogolla as the CDF in the Departmental Committee on Defence during the 12th and 13th Parliaments. It is quite sad how we lost him. I was honoured to go to Ng’iya village for the final farewell of the General, hosted by Hon. Samuel Atandi. Right from the drive from the airport, you could tell how not only the family, but also the community at large felt such a loss. It is quite something because this is the first General we have lost in office. I join in asking that investigations be done so that this information can be relayed to the public. It is important for the country to move on. I echo what Hon. Rasso said earlier, that areas with the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) are safe. In Gilgil where I come from, we host two of the oldest barracks. When we had skirmishes in the Rift Valley in 2007, Gilgil was the safe haven that many people found because the presence of the army there ensured that there was no fighting and skirmishes. That is why many Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) were settled in Gilgil. They The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
