    "content": "candidates to report to recruitment centres, and indicated that the exercise would be absolutely free. The KDF had warned in the said advertisement that corruption, bribery and other acts of corruption are illegal. According to the advertisement, a copy of which I have, the recruitment exercise was to commence on 30th September, 2013 and end on 29th October, 2013. The said advertisement provided for the recruitment dates, the counties, the districts and the centres at which the exercise will take place. The Kenya Defence Forces Act, 2012, stipulates and provide for the criteria to be followed in seeking to recruit members of the KDF, which must comply with Section 25 of the Kenya Defence Act and Article 232(1)(g, h & i) of the Constitution. Hon. Speaker, regarding the ongoing recruitment of members of the public to KDF, I would like to know the following from the Leader of the Majority Party:- (i) Whether the advertisement that was widely circulated by the KDF complied with Section 28(2) of the Act that enjoins the Defence Council to consult the Public Service Commission (PSC) in the recruitment of members of KDF. (ii) The mode of communication used in the communication between KDF and PSC, indicating whether it was verbal or written, and the nature of consultations. (iii) Whether the advertisement that invites prospective candidates to report to the designated recruitment centres on the stated dates has complied with Section 28(3) of the Act, which states that the advertisement shall contain, among other things, the chances allocated for each county, at least, 30 days before the recruitment."
