Retired military chief Daudi Tonje is remembered for introducing sweeping reforms but one particular one stood out at a recent function -- allowing women in the army to lead and to marry and bear children.

Over the weekend, a group of women under the umbrella of Females of Valour Association of Kenya paid General (Rtd) Tonje a visit to his Kitale home.
