    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Motion by Hon. Obo, Member for Lamu. This is a timely Motion noting that we have recently had a spate of accidents involving our military aircrafts. The Motion before us seeks to motivate and recognise our military personnel who play a key role in securing this country on land, sea and air. Our military is internationally renowned for securing peace in various parts of the world, including Namibia and Bosnia. Giving them precedence or priority during boarding of flights is not asking for too much. Recognising them and noting that they are men and women who have served with dignity is quite in order. The Ministry of Roads, Transport and Civil Works, through the Civil Aviation Department, should quickly come up with a policy to recognise and motivate our veterans. I remember Gen. Opande who served on a peacekeeping mission in West Africa. His reputation made Kenya to be highly regarded in that particular region when he served as a peacekeeping leader in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) region. Our uniformed officers have served in Namibia and many parts of the world, and they have done very well. So, this particular Motion needs to be moved with speed so that we have a policy framework that is going to assist us in making sure that we recognise, respect, and give them priority."
