    "content": "not have enough opportunities. We are aware that the very first time that the Kenyan army participated in peacekeeping was in 1973. Since then, our army has had many opportunities to do peacekeeping. However, they have not done many as other countries in the region have done. Our country has participated and contributed in the UN and regional peacekeeping in countries like Zimbabwe, Chad, Iran, Iraq, Namibia, Mozambique, Liberia, Rwanda, Angola and Sierra Leone. We know that many of our senior military men have occupied senior UN positions in peacekeeping. However, this has not been enough. As Sen. Billow informed us, indeed, apart from the international prestige and recognition that our military earns, our military personnel are very well remunerated. That is what we want. Some of our military personnel should get those opportunities. Apart from the good training they are exposed to, they also come with something back home. You will find that many of the young men who have participated in the peacekeeping mission have built for themselves very nice homes back in the villages. They have also had opportunities to buy a car. If they stayed here in Kenya, where most of them are idle in their camps, they would not even have an opportunity to build a stone house in the village."
