"content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Ms. Victorine Adhiambo Ouko was, indeed, recruited on 21st October, 2010 at Kasarani Recruitment Centre. She was given a calling letter to report to the RTS in Eldoret on Monday, 25th October, 2010. During confirmation at the RTS of medical tests and verification of documents, Ms. Adhiamboâs ID card had discrepancies. The ID card she presented at the RTS was scanned, meaning that it was not the original, hence not a genuine document. This led to her disqualification. She was, therefore, not eligible to be recruited into the Kenya Defence Forces. We had nine other cases of similar nature and all those involved were handed over to the civil police for possible prosecution. (b) The Ministry of State for Defence will continue to verify the required original documents; that is, the ID cards and education certificates whenever such an exercise takes place so that we avoid recruiting non-Kenyans or even Kenyans with bad records or fake and forged documents. The vetting process is continuous in the military. Whenever an anomaly is detected at any stage, the affected individual(s) are always disqualified and subsequently handed over to the civil police for possible prosecution. The document verification exercise has security implications if looked at holistically."
