    "content": "Hon. Speaker, it is very serious that State officers can breach the law that sets them up. It is even more serious that they can breach the Constitution that was adopted only the other day. It is very fresh in the minds of everybody. I am surprised that KDF do not have lawyers to advise them on such very clear provisions of the law. All the hon. Members seated in this House have witnessed the number of candidates who turned up for recruitment at the various centres countrywide. People in the various counties did not know the numbers of recruits who were to be enlisted into KDF. So, they turned up in millions. Some of them even died because they thought that it was only one chance that was available. People are living as if we are still in the dark days. There is nothing secret about recruitment by our defence forces. Those are people who are supposed to protect us. They are supposed to be employed on merit. We do not want to hear about kangaroo activities happening behind the back of the National Assembly. Hon. Speaker, the Statement is extremely urgent, particularly given that there is a breach of the law. I am speaking as a lawyer. This is not pedestrian talk. Therefore, I expect the Leader of the Majority Party to respond by Thursday, latest. Thank you."
