Retired military officers are calling on the Government to create a budgetary provision to help retired soldiers effectively discharge their peace-keeping mandate as prescribed in the Act establishing their umbrella body, the Kenya Veterans for Peace.
This, according to the Executive Director of the Kenya Veterans for Peace Dr Nelson Sechere, would help easier re-integration of decommissioned officers into the society after years of working in seclusion in military barracks
Dr Sechere spoke at a dinner organized by veteran soldiers drawn from the Kenya Army, the Navy and Kenya Air Force.
Chief Representative Officer for Kenya Army in the Kenya Veterans for Peace, Major Retired Stanley Kiama , thanked the government for taking good care of retired military officers through prompt payment of their pension.
