KDF recruitment must be free from corruption

The military promised to ensure fair recruitment free from corruption this year and this is what Kenyans expected. However, it is saddening to hear that the exercise currently underway across the country has already been marred by cases of corruption.

In 2013, there were at least 23 cases of corruption involving Sh5 million, while in 2014 there were 16 cases involving Sh4 million. In 2015, at least Sh2 million was reported to have exchanged hands as desperate Kenyans sought to join the Kenya Defence Forces as rogue military officials or impostors took advantage of them.
