Today, the second batch of 200 troops from Kenya joined their counterparts in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to support restoration of peace in Eastern DRC.
The team is part of about 903 Kenya Defence Forces troops who have been deployed to neutralize M23 rebels in the Democratic Republic of Congo in a joint regional operation.
No one inspires a higher level of national pride and patriotism than our KDF soldiers. Every time they go out there to honour their call of duty, they emerge victorious.
KDF officers have earned their place as a model military, standing out as trendsetters for their peers across the African continent.
No doubt, our flag does not fly because the wind moves it ~ It flies with the last breath of every KDF soldier who died protecting it.
And just like they have done before, our soldiers will definitely make us proud and come home safe. They made us proud in Sierra Leone when everyone else believed it cannot be done. They made us proud in Somalia against all odds. They will definitely make us proud again in DRC.

Sirisia MP John Walukhe is a free man despite looting Kshs 300M from NCPB. Since he was convicted, amekuwa nje mara mingi kuliko akiwa jela. He has been granted bail a record 4 times!
If all animals were the equal , Walukhe would have been denied bail like the chicken thief, and jailed for 7,317 years (300M /41).
