    "content": "Thank you very much, hon. Speaker. I also want to join my colleagues giving my condolences to the family of the late hon. (Gen.) Mulinge, his nephew, hon. Robert Mbui, the people of Kathiani Constituency and the Kamba community. Hon. (Gen.) Mulinge was a great man and a great son of the Kamba people. I want to say that he was a role model to many of us in the Kamba community; even during his service in the military, he encouraged many Kamba soldiers to emulate his ways of leadership. He actually preached loyalty, faithfulness and peace. I believe we owe him a lot of respect for the goodwill he showed for the Kamba soldiers in the army, so that they could be trusted wherever they went to--- Hon. Speaker, I want to say that Gen. Mulinge caused Kenya to be peaceful in a situation where many Africans countries had coup’ d’états and a lot of conflicts; Kenya was able to be very peaceful in the region. I also want to say that if Gen. Mulinge could wake up today, he would advise Kenyans to be peaceful and to avoid situations where we can lose the peace we are enjoying currently. We learnt that Gen. Mulinge was actually sick for nine years. Unfortunately, the Government has no policy to give insurance to retiring senior military people. It is unfortunate because all the medical expenses were met by the family. I am asking the Government to meet the Bills and even give insurance to heroes, so that they do not suffer during their last days on this earth. With those remarks, I would like give my condolences on behalf of people of Machakos. Thank you."
