    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for also giving me this chance to add my voice on this. I do not know whether it is by coincidence, but just some few minutes before Sen. Olekina stood to raise this matter, an orphan who had gone to make an attempt to be recruited in Bomet has sent me an SMS that that, they wanted Kshs400,000 for him to be recruited. It is so bad that this particular vice is getting into our military, particularly during recruitment. Mr. Speaker, Sir, unless this is arrested with immediate effect, we will end up getting the military personnel who purchase their way to the service. I am so sure that the way they are getting into the military through compromise, they will also be compromised in their duties. This corruption will continue unabated if the concerned Committee does not deal with this particular case with a lot of diligence because it denies the rightful candidates a chance to be recruited into the military. It is so bad. The complaints are everywhere. In fact, some people are saying that recruitment takes place two or three months before the actual dates. This matter has denied rightful Kenyans an opportunity to serve this country diligently. I want to support this Statement and the Committee must handle this with speed, so that this situation is arrested."
