    "content": "5. Be physically, mentally and medically fit. 6. Have no criminal record or pending criminal charge. Section E161J of the guidelines clearly states that in preparing the shortlist of candidates, the sub-county committee shall be guided by:- 1. Quotas of vacancies allocated to the sub-county. 2. Regional and ethnic representation of the sub-county. 3. Gender. Further, the Commission is required to take into consideration Article 56(a), (b) and (c) and Article 232 (h) and (i) of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, in the recruitment process. However, a person cannot be recruited into the police service, unless he/she is medically fit, which includes the examination of the teeth. The advert for recruitment was very clear on the required qualifications, a copy of which I hereby table. Any person who had other certificates had the responsibility of getting certification from a competent authority that, that certificate was the equivalent of the required qualification. The recruitment exercise was largely delegated to the Inspector General who has an independent direct command of the service structures. Initially, the Commission had planned that the recruits will report to the college on 5th September, 2012. However, it became apparent that the college needed to make urgent arrangement for additional capacity for accommodation for the additional 3,000 recruits. The Commission, therefore, rescheduled the reporting date to 3rd October, 2014. Mr. Speaker, Sir, lastly, the police training curriculum has been revised to take into account all forms of modern security threats. Specialized courses are undertaken and the recruits receive training on current terrorism and combating cyber crime. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
