    "content": "anything happens. Children should also undergo counseling sessions so that in case of anything, they can be fully prepared. Madam Temporary Speaker, we should also enhance their capacity. Most of the times when we send our armed forces for a mission, they do not undergo capacity building on how to improve themselves. If we do that, we will motivate them. For example, they can improve their levels of education and be relevant to the field. Therefore, the Government should come up with a proper plan for them to enhance their education and have proper capacity building, so that they can be active enough and gain knowledge in what they do. That way, if they get an opportunity to go outside the country, they will serve others well. As I conclude, we know well that they get minimal salaries. Most of the time, when you look at them, their families and where they stay, you sympathize with them. We should come up with a way of empowering them economically so that they are able to create their wealth. As they serve the nation and protect all of us, then their families can also be given opportunities to do business so as to create their own wealth. This will ensure that they retire peacefully, gracefully and enjoy the investments they have made. Madam Temporary Speaker, there is need for us to stress on gender issues, so that there will be no gender discrimination. Women should also be given enough opportunities to exercise their gifts and talents, and also to serve their families very well. Madam Temporary Speaker, with those few remarks, I support the Motion and hope that Kenya will one day provide all the things that our armed forces and their families need. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
