    "content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, we must appreciate the services that are provided by the defence forces to our country. As much as this Motion speaks of boarding in airlines, we must extend the respect that we give to our soldiers to all the other public services. Recently, I was in the United States of America and before the first-class passengers are allowed to board, the first opportunity is given to members of the defence forces and their families. That is the kind of respect they are given. I have also travelled to the United Kingdom and Poland and the same respect is accorded to soldiers. We need to go beyond what we legislate to give utmost respect to our soldiers whenever we meet them in their official attire and their private capacities so that they know that their sacrifice to this nation is not in vain. Secondly, the armed forces in our country have certain specialised skills in matters engineering, technology and all fields that support human endeavour and advancement. We must allow them to provide us with services in hospitals and other institutions where critical services are being provided. Finally, as we honour Gen. Ogolla, we need to ask for proper investigations so that there is no room left for speculation following the helicopter crash. I support. Thank you."
