    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order 46 (2) (b) to seek a statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations regarding the ongoing recruitment by the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF). In the Statement, the Chairperson should:- (1) Explain the recruitment policy by the KDF in the ongoing recruitment exercise, indicating the criteria used to identify eligible recruits in various recruitment centres. (2) Explain why youth from various wards were turned away from recruitment centres because their identity cards indicated that they hail from different wards from the centres where the process was taking place and especially in the following two incidences: (a) why the youths from Chemelil/Chemase Ward, in Tinderet Sub-County were turned away from Maraba recruitment centre because their identity cards indicated Aldai Division in Aldai Sub-County, Nandi County. (b) why youths from Kapsimotwa Ward in Tinderet Sub-County were also turned away from Maraba recruitment centre because their identity cards indicated Nandi Hills Ward in Nandi Hills Sub-County, Nandi County. (3) State whether the KDF is considering reforming this discriminatory practice in their recruitment process. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
