Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, aware that in recruiting officers for the disciplined forces, the following height requirements apply; Armed Forces â 5ft 3â (both men and women), Policemen â 5ft 9â; Policewomen â 5ft 3â; Administration Policemen â 5ft 8â; Administration Policewomen â 5ft 3â and concerned that this requirement is discriminative and is not within any legal framework; this House urges the Government to dispense with this requirement in order to allow for equitable recruitment of all Kenyans who meet other minimum requirements.
