    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to thank you for giving me an opportunity to also add my voice to this very important Bill. I want to state from the onset that I support. It will be remembered that last week, the Senator of Vihiga County brought a Motion to the Floor of this House on recognition of military veterans. This dovetails well to this Bill that we are debating today. Madam Temporary Speaker, before I go to the substance of this Bill, I take note that there is a provision in this Bill that we could honour our heroes and heroines posthumously, which is fine. Madam Temporary Speaker, there is a man from my village who fought alongside the British troops in the Second World War in South East Asia in Burma, which is present day Myanmar. He fought, came back home and died a poor man, and nothing is said about him to date. If enacted into law, this Bill comes in to recognise the input and efforts of those people who died for the course of this nation."
