President Uhuru Kenyatta on Thursday presided over a pass out parade of Cadets at Kenya Military Academy at Lanet, Nakuru.
Recruited as commissioned officers, Cadets spend three years at the academy where they undergo rigorous technical training.
The President was accompanied by Chief of Defense Forces General Samson Mwathethe, Service Commanders among other top KDF officials.
"President Uhuru Kenyatta arrives at the Kenya Military Academy in Lanet, Nakuru County for the Cadets Commissioning Parade," State House said.
Kenya is currently involved in an active war against Al-Shabaab with over 4,000 soldiers currently working under African Union in Somalia.
The country has exuded confidence in the fight against the militants, following reconciliation between Somalia. The two nations are embroiled in Indian Ocean maritime dispute.
Early this month, Uhuru hosted Somalia President Mohamed Farmajo where they agreed to normalise relations after months of animosity.
“The two principals agreed to bring normality to our bilateral relations and do everything to ensure peaceful relations including obtaining visas on arrival to encourage free movement of our people,” Monica Juma had said.
Farmajo lauded Kenya for the contribution towards the peace processes in Somalia, adding that the maritime dispute will be solved amicably.
“President Farmaajo expressed gratitude for the role of Kenya in Amisom, hospitality to Somalis refugees, and expressed his confidence that the ICJ issue would be resolved in a mutually acceptable manner and not affect our bilateral relations,” the statement added.
