    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to also support Hon. M’eruaki’s Petition. In May this year, we had a report from the media that a certain soldier who had participated in the Linda Nchi Operation in Somalia was dismissed because of a mental condition. The same month, we were told that another soldier was also dismissed even after five doctors concurred that he was suffering from mental problems. This is not the first Petition that has been brought by a Member on the matter of military personnel. I hope that the Committee concerned can delve deep into this matter and see how best this country can take care of its soldiers, especially those who were affected by the kind of thing that happened this year in El Adde. Soldiers require post-war treatment, care and even rehabilitation. Their families also need to be taken care of. I hope that the Committee concerned will not only treat this case individually, but help this House with proper and valid recommendations on how best we can handle those kinds of situations. This is not the first time this kind of a matter has been raised."
