    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also add my voice to this important discourse on the Motion on the establishment of a priority boarding protocol for KDF and Kenya Special Forces personnel on local airlines. First and foremost, on my behalf and that of the people of Luanda, allow me to pass my condolences to the family of the late Gen. Ogolla and the nine other KDF officers who perished in that very unfortunate accident. The accident led to the loss of lives of great men and woman who served this country with great dedication and loyalty. It is unfortunate that, at a time like this, we can lose our dear ones and, more so, great men who are committed to work for this country – men and women who sacrifice so much, including risking their lives for the sake of our own peace. Together with the people of Luanda, I stand with the families of the fallen soldiers at this point in time. Secondly, allow me to also thank Hon. Ruweida, who has come up with a Motion that will go a long way in recognising and appreciating our soldiers. It is a fact that the military and our soldiers play a great role in ensuring that our borders are safe, and there is peace and tranquillity in our country. This is a group of people who are rarely acknowledged despite the fact that they sacrifice most of their lives in risky environments. They work in very volatile situations and they, sometimes, lose their lives defending this nation. Therefore, the idea of establishing a priority boarding protocol for those great people is very much welcome. I stand to support and say that, indeed, it is high time we acknowledged and accorded our gallant men and women an opportunity to be treated differently from the general public. I like the idea that we give them priority in local airports and banking halls. The The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
