    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I request for a statement on the Kenya Defence Forces recruitment process in Emuhaya Sub-County. Hon. Speaker, the recently advertised and now ongoing recruitment of youth into the KDF raised a lot of expectations among the youths due to the high unemployment rate and the benefits that accrue to an individual, family and community in general when one joins this esteemed Force. Hon. Speaker, during the recruitment process, more than 3,000 youths turned up for the exercise. However, only 2 of the more than three thousand were taken. This left the question on the number of slots allocated to each Sub County. Hon. Speaker, it is of great concern that the number of slots per sub-county is too low especially when compared with the ratio of population of youth. It is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations on the following: (i) What were the number of slots allocated to Emuhaya Sub-County considering the high population in the sub-county? (ii) Could the Chairperson, provide a list of distribution of Recruitment slots into KDF for all sub-counties and counties that depicts equity and fairness? (iii)What was the other criterion used by the KDF to determine one has the requisite qualifications for the intake into KDF apart from ability to run? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
