    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have already said that there will be no problem in producing the numbers recruited. However, I would like to come to the substance of the issue that has been raised by the hon. Member in relation to Ruaraka and other stations. We have already shared with the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Affairs on the methods that we used in the recruitment. The analysis has been done so that when recruitment officers go to the field, they already know the number of candidates from each community that they would bring. What the hon. Member is saying, that perhaps in Ruaraka, they were not picked, chances are that in another station somewhere, they might have picked more from this community and, therefore, the numbers from the community might have been realized. I say this because it is the policy of the Ministry of Defence to ensure that the numbers in the Military reflect the composition o f the various communities in the Republic. That is what we are striving to achieve, and I want to assure the House that will be achieved in the very near future, so that if you go to the Military you will find that the number of service men and women in the Army, will represent, the percentage of every community in the population of the country."
