    "content": "The final question was to explain the Government's mechanism to enable Kenyans to report malpractices witnessed during subsequent employment. First, before I tell the country the mechanism, I want Kenyans to stop bribing our officers. That is the beginning. For someone to take a bribe, there must be a giver. I am sure people are watching. Some of them are conmen and fraudsters who make cash during recruitment. I want to talk to Kenyan parents. Do not bribe anyone. Let your children present themselves at the recruitment centre. Our officers are obligated to ensure that every Kenyan is given an opportunity. The KDF recruitment drive has a lot of adverts free to all eligible candidates. Members of the public are warned against engaging in malpractices to influence the process. Further, they are encouraged to report any suspicious actions during the process. At all recruitment centres, recruiting officers are required to make verbal announcements reiterating the implication of non-compliance with a warning to desist. This year, we have asked the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), the DCI, and all other civil society organizations within the locality we are recruiting to make sure that they are on standby to ensure that our officers are not vulnerable. We will give a call number that parents can call and report any incidents of fraud going on. I ask this House to judge myself, General Ogolla, and the entire leadership of KDF on this recruitment. I am sure there will be a difference this time around."
