"content": "same should extend to our medical facilities and at any other place that those great men and women will go to seek for services. Hon. Temporary Speaker, as you said, they need serious motivation. When we sleep in the comfort of our houses, more often than not, those men and women are out in the field protecting our borders. When we enjoy the privileges that come with the offices that some of us hold, those men and women are never recognised and acknowledged. Therefore, this Motion is timely and, more so, at a time when this country is mourning the loss of its dear ones and the loss of a General who was admired as a great mentor who lived beyond what people expected because he was such a humble man. The Motion has come at a time when we need to acknowledge and reward those people. Hon. Temporary Speaker, as we talk about the establishment of priority boarding protocol for KDF and Kenya Special Forces personnel on our local airlines, let us also look at the kind of equipment they use. It is unfortunate that, at this point in time, our soldiers continue using old and outdated military equipment. It is high time that this country looks at the welfare of our soldiers. I believe if we were using modern military equipment, maybe, we could not have lost our dear soldiers in the recent incident. With those remarks, I support the Motion and congratulate Hon. Ruweida for coming up with this good idea in time."
