    "content": " Thank you for giving me this opportunity. First, I congratulate Hon. Ruweida for bringing this Motion. It is very timely, when this nation is going through some challenges as far as the security of our nation is concerned. Motivation within the military service and the security sector is extremely important. How do we achieve motivation in the military? One, former General Tonje came up with key rules that are still guiding the military to ensure the position of the CDF was rotational between periods of four years. We go to the Kenya Navy, the Kenya Air Force and after that, the Kenya Army. This is meant to increase motivation within the military service. This Motion also ensures that the military conducts its constitutional mandate to defend this nation from external and internal aggression in the most appropriate and effective manner. Therefore, it is important to support. I was in the late General Ogolla’s burial in Siaya. I attended the send-off. It was a very dark day not only for the people of Siaya, but also to all family members who lost their loved ones in that crash. They come from different parts of this country. It is important that we have improvement of military equipment. Not only the arsenals, but also the day-to-day equipment that they use, the aircraft and the vehicles. This House should be accountable on the budget that is allocated towards the improvement of equipment each year. It must be accounted for properly. This is not just for generals and servicemen who work in the military. It is also for the Commander-in-Chief of the Kenya Defence Forces. The aircraft the Commander-in-Chief uses must also be modernised. It is true that the Air Force 1 the President uses cannot transfer him from Kenya to New York or Europe. Indeed, it is not a very safe aircraft. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
