    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I want to join other Kenyans in mourning the fallen heroes of General Ogolla and his colleagues. I met him when he was a Commander of the Air Force in an ad hoc committee looking at the lands that belong to the armed forces. While we were at the Army Garrison, General Ogolla was the first person to come into that hall and we had tea with him. He was an easy and nice fellow. He was a good person. He gave us very good information. I also had a second opportunity to be with him when I travelled with the President outside. He came across as a man who was down to earth. He was a person who loved this country and one who was ready to serve. This country has lost a valiant soldier, and a man who was patriotic and loved this country very much. But again, the people of Kilifi also mourned the death of Brigadier Swale Saidi. Although he came from Kisauni, he also lived in Kilifi. He was actually buried in Kikambala in Kilifi. So, the people of Kilifi want to recognise this great soldier and a man who brought honour to the people of Kilifi. He was revered as a soldier who had a future, but God saw it fit that he took them on that day. May their souls rest in peace. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
