    "content": "Even as I celebrate, I take note that this is a period where we also lost our sons in Liboi, Daramaje Road. Eleven soldiers lost their lives. Kirinyaga County lost three out of the 11 soldiers. Two of them come from my constituency. Police Constable Kennedy Njogu Murimi comes from Wamumu Ward in Mwea Constituency, and Police Constable Kennedy Kinyua Mureithi comes from Kangai Ward in Mwea Constituency. We also lost Police Constable Lewis Muturi Wanjohi who comes from Kirinyaga Central Constituency. When I got the news of these young men, I was disturbed because they are young. The three of them are not married. They are very new in the National Police Service (NPS). As I was thinking about it, a few things that we all need to think about came to mind. One, why is it that whenever we have these calamities in these challenging areas, we only get young men under 30 who end up being victims? Can it be that when most of our young men come out of their recruitment, they are posted in some of these challenging areas even without the relevant experience? This is really disturbing. We need to look at it to ensure that even as we want our young men to serve in this country, we ensure that we equip them with relevant experience before we post them to some of these areas."
