    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, this is a very urgent and important Question because it involves recruitment and employment of youth. There are two things I would like the Committee to consider when they meet the Cabinet Secretary. One, if the Cabinet Secretary insists that the recruitment is to be done as per the advertisement, namely, at the county headquarters, are they going to refund those who come from all over the place to the county headquarters their transport cost? These are youth who are looking for employment and you cannot ask them to come from several kilometres away in search of employment, then they go back home and just a few will be picked. They must guarantee that if they are insisting on the youth appearing for recruitment at the county headquarters, they will be refunded the transport cost. Two, there is the element of subjectivity. Once the youth have done the running, then they go through other subjective tests like medical tests, whose results are not made public, you cannot even vouch for them. How is the KDF going to ensure that there is objectivity and fairness to the youth, so that this culture of taking bribes can be eliminated? I am convinced that bribe taking during the recruitment of forces has not been eliminated."
