Defence cabinet secretary Aden Duale has reassured Kenyans that the ongoing Kenya Defence Forces recruitment will be free and fair.
‘’It is ironic that the Kenya Defence Forces, one of the most disciplined militaries in the world, has in the past had recruitment exercises marred with indiscipline and unlawful dealings such as bribery and favouritism,“ He said in a tweet.
He further added that, as preparations to kick off the enrollment of new entrants into the KDF from next week continue, the ministry has sent reminders via SMS and other communication platforms to all Kenyans, as a cautionary measure against falling for fraudsters and charlatans masquerading as recruiting officers.
In an exclusive interview with a local media house on Wednesday, the CS gave a stern warning to officers and parents who will be found taking part in corruption.
‘’ We have given stern warning to our officers taking part in countrywide field events to observe utmost transparency and treat all candidates indiscriminately during the process. Anyone, officers, guardians or the candidates themselves, who’ll be found breaking the law will be dismissed forthwith and made to face the full wrath of the law.’’ He said.
The recruitment exercise will be happening across all counties in the country starting Monday 21st.
