Kenya is eternally grateful for your exemplary service Sir. May you live long and in good health. We pray for many upright men like you
Amen
Ask the General to do more public speeches in our Colleges and Universities such a great resource in building capacities and patriotism.
He does, especially at Millitary College and Defense University.
You took the words out of my mouth. Thi sare the kind of people who should be speaking in graduations. Raw authentic story....this will inspire young men and women. And also brings history of out nation to the front.
A good suggestion.
The rest of the generals who have retired should do something for the community.
I like the respect in military,no matter age
The stability and professionalism inherent in the military to a certain degree I gather is courtesy of his leadership. So give the man his flowers.
This guy was a true General,the best kenya has ever had na sioni kama anybody can eclipse the massive changes he made.Happy to see him healthy n kicking
Tonje,Mulinge ,Opande,big names those days
Don't forget he was deputized by Lt General Daniel Opande, one of the finest men to ever grace the Kenyan military.
He left the institution better than he found it. That is stewardship! Asante sana, what a great Kenyan!
I've searched alot to get to see this man Daudi Tonje because of the work I've heard that he did for our military. Very instrumental in today's kdf's professionalism. And here is the man wow 👏. May God bless his entire generation. That's what happens when good men with vision rise to positions of power. He's patriotic na ubarikiwe milele generali
I just came here courtesy of my brother. He was nicknamed Tonje and I've never got to see who this Tonje is. Kudos to this channel. After watching this, I'm inspired and a true Tonje must come out of his Generation💪
I myself served in the Military 7 years 346 days, this man made a KDF a very nice place to work ! He's the General for ever soldier to in Kenya to thank !
General is the unsung hero,we need to recognize and appreciate our Patriots when they are alive and well.
Generals are given privileges like president
A highly progressive man. An accomplished leader. A hero of our nation. General, enjoy your retirement and the fruits of your unselfish service to the country.
While working under this general, I was a proud officer, made captain during his time. When he retired, I left. Thank you General Tonje.
Listening to Gen Tonje am moved by his wisdom.long life Gen Tonje.
Amazing General. Salute Sir. Yes, I remember when we started receiving salaries through the Bank. You made commendable changes in the Military. Listened to your speech during our pass-out parade in 1997and it would move soldiers. Full of Energy and Morale. Blessings Always.
I affirm he was an inspiration to young officers as I worked with him at DSC in 84.
He should write a biography. So much wisdom should be written down n not go to waste. We all gonna die one day.
I am glad to watch this interview I really admired the general from what I read in news paper but this interview has brought by hero closer
Easily, Kenya's most respected CDF/ CGF... Kudos general 🙏💖
Give this man a chairman in transport ministries
The man needs rest please
Intelligent General, the type of leaders our country needs; those that can plan 20-30 years ahead
RTD Gen David Tonje Should Be Utelised In Our Different Government Institutes And Military Training Facilities To Pass Down Knowledge And Skills.
very bright chap....military guys should forever thank this guy.
Happy to see the General is still alive and strong.i remember him when we were young with Moi during National days.General Ogola was maybe his student.
Rip Generali
This is a great Kenyan, just like Wilson Boinett, Director General of NIS rtd.
May God bless you General,we love you,be blessed again with your family
1963 & still looking young & fresh...
I totally enjoyed the show, I didn't know he was the founder of DSC, I lived there in 2011-march 2012, it was quite a good experience interacting with all manner of staff,
Thak you for your service General Tonje. I still remember you in that impressive uniform as the cdf. I come from a military family, a big military family, I heard my parents, uncles and aunts heap praises on you during get together parties, which were so often. During annual balls. You are one of our greatest Generals if not the best of our times and our nation. Once more thank you for your great service and contribution to our future Sir. KDF is what it is today greatly because of the Tonje Rules. Hats off.
Chief of General Staff (CGS). Hii title ilenda wapi?
@@kimutaiboit8516 the 2010 constitution changed it to the Chief of Defense Forces (CDF)
This man has a lot of history that I love listening to

Generali Daudi Tonje best CDF Kenya has ever had!
Very transformative leader
May you live long
This is the type that should have been president.
Long live General.. Be blessed.
Gen Tonje was service driven and is an honorable man. Met him once and he had a lasting impression on as upfront man and very sober. With a lot of respect for others.
May Gen Tonje live long.
My salute general. We need you as minister of defence and/or president of Kenya.
God bless you sir,you are a visionary nd selfless leader
Very interesting and inspiring interview!!
Don't i admire this soldier! General Tonje is a man of character no wonder his rules in military promotions still apply. God bless you our retired general 🙏. The flip side of general in interesting. he looks like a normal, common ordinary man you can sit with and share other funny stories non-military as you drink chekko together 😅😅😅
These are the people who should be writing books for memoirs for Kenyans who dont know the past. At least we have this video to reflect on those days
Great soldier leader
I had never seen Tonje in civilian.he is a brilliant oldman.now I understand the Tonje rules genesis. Great son of kenya.
Great interview. Where's the full interview?
My all hero.bravo
I love the cool setting. Man at peace. Great orator
Amazing Kenyan Military Professionals - Afterall Barak Obama is also Kenyan ... ✔️⚔️🎖️
General Tonje may the Almighty God bless you for through your leadership Soldiers were able to advance in the career progression and promotions. If only you had stayed for another one term.
This is amazing. We need more insight from the General
Wah! This man did much, I will say he revolutionized the forces internal affairs for the better
I passionately love the discipline...
This man is a vibe
I love you General!
A MAN FULL OF WISDOM
Great work you did general,long life
A legend indeed need to celebrate while a live.live long genaral
This was indeed a great man.One day a certain lady stole some firewood from his farm.He was around and the lady,not knowing this was Tonje himself,she requested him to load the firewood onto her head and she left.Some meters from there,she met a neighbor who wanted to engage her in some chat.But she said to the neighbor"please don't keep me here for Tonje might find me around infact the firewood I am carrying I did steal from his farm.But the neighbor said"is that not Tonje who helped you put this firewood on your head'
She
Give us the whole story bana
Muhammed disliked gen.Tonje because of their academic differences. Tonje was learned and Mohammed an illiterate.
😂😂😂then finish the story
Wewe maliza story bana😂
Sweet stories are those that are not complete my friend.
Hero of Kenya defense forses
Respect General Tonje... I use to hear the name when l was young and ignorant
I didn't know that this general was such a good person thanks to the internet.
I like the setting and the story he shares.
I wish kenya of today could have people like daudi tonje
Great work ❤
He was at the right place at the right time.His peers from other regions were not as lucky.
Great man
Visionary leader
May you live long general
We are here for his advise; now that….
An unsung hero....apewe flowers zake
For the honor of Gen (Rtd) Daudi Tonje, I feel some bits of this interview required editing, for example where he mentioned his struggles with Jackson Mulinge and Mahamoud Mohamed. Perhaps he did not know you were going to broadcast the interview.
Why edit he is a legend let it flow it's meant for learning 😂😂😂
Nothing wrong in telling the truth
@@stephentonje6694 are you related to the general?
This is very health.People differ in opinions and this is very normal
You are right. Those should have been redacted. But I am happy he didn't delve into the details. It is similar to the bitter disagreement between Paul and Barnabas in the Bible. Mentioned, but the ugly details left out.
Tonje rules live to reign todate...
Very smart chap
Wee anajua hadi combination and permutations 👍👍👍👍👍🤙
The good General, a great leader, a good man
He deserves Honorary doctorate
This guy should be allocated a constitutional office in Nairobi, we need to get advisory from such brains as a country, more of such should be identified to preserve heritage, i feel sometimes we lose focus as a country and need such brains for directions not mpigs
God bless you sir
The general was a God sent
Enjoying his life time.
High progressive man,a hero of Nation
Lengend
Good stuff.
Tonje the man wisdom hereth
he looks so young
God bless Tonje
Another time my own sister's animals broke a barbed wire fence and chewed his maize beyond the fence for almost a whole day.The person she had left to tend the animals left them and went on his missions.
Tonje's security team took away the animals into their custody awaiting the owner who in this case was my sister.
Later in the day, my sister received the information about how her animals had strayed into his neighbor's plantation and subsequently destroyed his crops. This matter brought a lot of confusion to her not knowing how to approach it having not met Tonje in any forum.
Eventually she decided to visit Tonje's farm the following day to seek mercy upon this matter. You can imagine this situation. The maize destruction was indeed big, big enough to cause worry.
She arrived and was informed that Tonje was inside and she had to therefore wait outside for awhile. She was there with the worker who had neglected his duty, just incase the punishment was to be caning.
"The 30 minute wait seemed like 30 day" she told us.
Then suddenly Tonje came out and she definitely knew that hour had come to explain why the destruction and "showing cause why"
She stood up and approached him apologizing in tears. Then Tonje asked his security where the animals are informing her that he was aware of that crime.He released the animals to her and told her to be the guard of that wing of his farm as an immediate neighbor.No further charges she wouldn't believe it.
I was in Isiolo in 1996, when Tonje ascended to the army general post.I remember tribalism was a great deal.You even remember how KGGCU was branded.But when this great man took the mantle every soldier, regardless of tribe I met had this to say."Tonje is a guy that understands what a Kenyan soldier has to undergo.
Sir I heard salute yako inaeza Kata MTU bt Mungu saidia
We respect you General.Your foresight will keep the forces and the country peaceful forever.
A great general
These patriotic servants of the people should be in advisory dockets...they have been tried and tested and passed the tests of time
Mkuu uko sawa
I didn't know he was still alive
