    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker, for this opportunity to pay tribute to a great man. I would like to, maybe, mention one or two things that Members here may not know. I believe Gen. Mulinge was an example of how Kenya is actually a land of opportunity. This is because this is a man who was born in a poor family, but rose through the ranks through hard work from the position of a private in the military to the position of army commander. Later on he was the 1st Chief of General Staff of this Republic, commanding all the armed forces. After a honorable retirement, he joined politics and was the Minister for Health and Lands consecutively He showed that humility, determination and hard work pays; he was an example that many of us in Kenya can emulate. I seek your indulgence to mention some of the decorations the late Gen. picked from the military. He was decorated as a Member of the Burning Spear, Imperial Defence College of the United Kingdom (UK), the Kenya Campaign Medal, an Elder of the Golden Heart of Kenya, the Distinguished Conduct Order, a GS medal, an AGS medal, Defence Medal and a War Medal from 1939-1945."
