The successes of Kenya’s military service are often paraded in the many missions accomplished and their continued commitment in protecting the country’s borders from external danger. However, little is spoken of the men and women who take charge in their ranks to ensure the well being of those in service. Retired General Daudi Tonje, who served as the general chief of staff, is one such man celebrated for his inclusion of women in to the mainstream military ranks. Retired women soldiers visited him at his home, to reminisce life before and after the inclusion of women in to the military service.
