The warning follows an incident in last year’s exercise where at least 50 youths were arrested with fake KDF admission letters. They were detained when they reported to the Moi Barracks Recruit Training School in Eldoret. Many were said to have been shocked when they learned that their letters were not genuine.
The police also recovered Sh726,000 from one of those detained. It was suspected that he was behind a cartel that was faking military documents and information.
