    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, so what this Bill intends to do is to give them an opportunity to enhance their education and to offer them some sort of training, retraining and development. This is so that even if you have not made progress in a career that you thought you would excel in, you can do other things. That is why today in countries like the United States of America (USA) former military officers remain some of the best motivational speakers and revered corporate heads. Can we do the same for the sake of the development of our nation? Can we not expand our horizon of thinking and demystify the role of this special group of the Kenyan society and help them positively contribute to the development of our nation? This is not possible unless we think of the past, reflect on what we are doing and match that with our inspiration and our inspiration is to see a highly industrialised, peaceful and sophisticated Kenya. That is the only way we can recoup because we have had missed opportunities. We had an opportunity in 1963 up to 2007 to take off industrially. It did not happen. It is our time Members here to ensure that we oversee the industrial take off of the Republic of Kenya and this is not possible until our nation is properly secured in every aspect. Today even for Members here, I do not think all of us feel secure. How do you feel secure when lives of innocent Kenyans are lost? Innocent Kenyans are being killed every day by being butchered by terrorists. Over the last two weeks we have lost over 100 plus Kenyans. It is a national crisis. How do we address this problem? The only way to address it is to appreciate how positively I can contribute to the well being of each and every Kenyan and how positively these uniquely trained Kenyans who have served as members of our defence forces can be mobilised and be prepared to positively defend the sovereignty of the Republic of Kenya.
