Ogolla and the other nine gallant officers, including the pilot, Major Magondu, who lost their lives in the tragic crash last week on Thursday. Hon. Speaker, you remember that it was Hon. Millie Odhiambo who drew the attention of the House to the crash and the tragic losses on Thursday evening.

Kimani Ichung’wah","speaker":null,"content":"During Gen. Ogolla’s funeral last Sunday, the President committed that the Government of Kenya and the KDF have already set up a team to investigate the circumstances that led to that very unfortunate accident. I join the President in reassuring the House and the country that the KDF will embark on investigations to ascertain exactly what led to that unfortunate accident, as they have always done in a very professional way. Hon. Speaker, it is good that you gave us this opportunity to not only mourn our departed colleagues and great countrymen, but to also reconsider our stand when the military comes before the House looking for resources to modernise their equipment. I hope the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations is listening. I have heard many Members criticise, without knowledge, the modernisation of military equipment during the budget-making process. This tragedy probably offers us an opportunity to seriously consider modernising all our military equipment, including our military and police aircraft, as well as the presidential jet in this coming financial year and the next few financial years. The current presidential jet was purchased in the early or late 1980s by former President Daniel arap Moi. This tragedy offers us an opportunity to reconsider modernising all this equipment, be it aircraft or other military equipment, so that it is safe and good for use, not just by the military, but also other Government officers. As we remember Gen. Ogolla and the other nine gallant officers, let us also remember to pray for their families. We should also remember that all military officers give their lives to protect us so that we live in a peaceful and secure country. As we mourn them, we must remember the families they have left behind. I must commend the KDF because we have seen the support they have extended, not just to Gen. Ogolla’s family, but to the families of the other officers who lost their lives, and those that lost their lives in earlier accidents, like the one in Ngong. The military and the KDF continue to offer very good support to those families. I ask the House to also consider larger budgetary allocations to the military to be able to offer better…"},{"id":1404333,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1404333/?format=json","text_counter":117,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.

Get together, talk and embrace peace. You lead the people who are fighting, raiding and killing each other. Take a moment of your time. Those young people wielding Kalashnikovs and G3s are our boys. Get down there and talk to them. Take them to school, reform them and give them alternative activities to engage in other than cattle rustling and killing each other. We would still have Gen. Ogolla and the nine other officers. Leadership must start from this House. If you want to amend the law to give you an opportunity to spend part of your National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) on security issues, so be it. That will allow you to change the situation. Let us go back to the normal order of business.
