99 youths from various parts of the country have been arrested after they presented fake ‘calling’ letters to join the Kenya Defense Forces (KDF).

The would-be recruits got a rude shock after they were arrested as new recruits were reporting for the mandatory military training at the Recruit Training School (RTS) at Moi Barracks in Eldoret on Sunday.
