Retired Kenya Defence Forces personnel on Thursday were treated to a medical camp at the Laikipia Air Base, Nanyuki even as its members wished them well.
The exercise targeted retired KDF personnel and their families residing in the Mt. Kenya region and beyond, plus active service personnel.
Laikipia Air Base Commander Brigadier Mahmoud Farah expressed his appreciation to the members for their dedicated service to the nation in their active years and afterward.
"Maintain a healthy lifestyle in order to remain productive in the society as majority of the ailments are as a result of ageing and reduced activity," he said.
