I am happy to see both Lt. Gen. Thuita and Lt. Gen. Ondieki who have been appointed. I believe their discipline has helped them rise to the top. You will all agree with me that to get to the top of a military career is not an easy thing. It is not a walk in the park. The fact that they have got there means that they truly can serve this country even better in diplomacy. I really wish them well in their new role. It is more of diplomacy than giving orders. I believe they can do it very well."}
