  • President Uhuru Kenyatta who is the Commander-in-Chief of the Kenya Defence Forces on Saturday visited Kenyan soldiers at the Dhobley Military camp in Somalia to show support to the men and women on the frontline in the war torn country.
    Somalia is one of the deadliest conflict areas of the modern world. Since Kenya's military intervention that country nearly six years ago, many soldiers have died, but have you ever imagined what it feels like to have a close relative in the frontline then hearing news that there has been an attack?
    On NTV Special, young war widows talk about the heartache of losing their loved ones, their memories and the tribulations that follows.

    Thanks to KDF administration because some in laws the moment a soldier die they don't care about his wife especially during receiving the benefits.

    Advice to men who love their wives, JIGAWE UKIWA HAI, the day you marry, move out from your father's home and property, go away, build an empire with your wife and kids, yes give your parents something also, maybe build some rentals for them but, put your wife at a very good place, the day you die before doing this, YOUR KIDS WILL SUFFER, YOUR WIFE WILL BE DISRESPECTED.
