On her part, Defence CS Raychelle Omamo has asked Kenyans to be calm and let the government inform families of the fallen soldiers first before making the names public.

KDF plans to set up counselling centres in Eldoret, Gilgil and at Forces Memorial in Nairobi for management of injured and missing soldiers' kin.
