President Uhuru Kenyatta, accompanied by his deputy William Ruto, First Lady Margaret Kenyatta and Opposition leaders Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka and Moses Wetang’ula when they visited KDF soldiers who were injured in the El Adde attack in Somalia and now recuperating at the Defence Forces Memorial Hospital in Nairobi.
The President in honouring the heroes said, “In El Adde, we lost precious lives. These were young Kenyans in the prime of their lives, serving their country in a foreign land. They gave their lives to protect us, and to allow our brothers and sisters in Somalia the precious gift of government, stability and peace that we enjoy.”

“We owe our young soldiers a debt of gratitude, one we can scarcely repay. But honour them we will.

That we should not be deterred no matter the challenges they try to push our way.”
