    "content": "Further the public was informed that KDF is playing its role in combating the vice and that the service personnel who were involved in recruitment malpractices are facing court martial and the due process will be followed. However, in Wajir East recruitment center which is a cosmopolitan town, six young men and one young lady who come from the same clan were recruited denying equal opportunity to qualified youth from other communities and clans in the area. Hon. Deputy Speaker, 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: 1. Could the Chairperson explain why different communities in Wajir East Constituency were denied equal opportunity in the recruitment exercise? 2. Could the Chairperson explain the criteria used to select/recruit the six youth/young men and woman? 3. Could the Chairperson explain plans put in place by the Ministry to establish whether the due process was followed? and 4. Could the Chairperson explain measures put in place by the Ministry to ensure that all communities/clans in the area are accorded slots and equal opportunity in the Kenya Defence Forces recruitment exercise? I thank you Hon. Deputy Speaker."
