    "content": " Hon. Senators, it is with a heavy heart that I regret to announce the death of a distinguished Kenyan, an elder statesman and a patriot, hon. Gen. (Rtd.) Jackson Kimeu Mulinge, which took place on Sunday, 15th June, 2014. The late hon. Gen. (Rtd.) Jackson Kimeu Mulinge was born in Kathiani, Machakos County, in 1924. He attended AIM School, Mumbuni in Machakos, then joined the military and began serving his country in 1942. He was granted commission as an officer in the Kings African Rifles (KAR) in 1961. In 1963, he was appointed commanding officer, Third Kenya Rifles. The General rose through the ranks to become commander of the Kenya Army in 1969 and later in 1971, the first Chief of General Staff (CGS) of the Kenya Armed Forces. He was the first to become a full star General in Kenya and the first full star General to hold this position previously occupied by a Major General.
