Observing a mecha?

Lazy Wafula wanted to ask the pretty woman about where they were but he saw that the woman was swamped so he dropped the idea. Everywhere that they passed, the uniformed soldiers would stop to salute her, and as for Lazy Wafula, they didn't even give him a glance because they knew that he was not a soldier like them so, he didn't deserve a salute. Lazy Wafula was not offended by such a treatment and he came to know that the pretty woman was called Shamim Mwikhaki as they called her by those militia. He knew that this Shamim Mwikhaki had to be someone of the upper echelon in the military for the soldiers to stop what they were doing and salute to her.
