• 14 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) It is true that Mr. Samuel Munga Kariuki, who is alleged to have rescued two persons from drowning in Chinga Dam, Othaya Constituency, on an unknown date and time, was not recruited into the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) during the recently concluded recruitment exercise, according to our record. However, the Ministry of State for Defence was not aware of any arrangement or agreement to have Mr. Samuel Munga Kariuki recruited into the KDF since we were not privy to the alleged earlier commitment by the Central Provincial Commissioner on the matter. ... view
• 14 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do commend Mr. Munga Kariuki for his act of sacrifice to save other people’s lives. But saving people’s lives is not a qualification to be recruited into the KDF. So, I would like to advise the young man to present himself during the next recruitment, but on condition that he meets all the requirements as per our procedures and regulations. view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You cannot allow hon. Mbugua to get away with a very serious allegation. Hon. Mbugua has alluded that the Americans have given the Commissioner of Police some information or some names and he must substantiate. We cannot allow hon. Mbugua to get away with that! view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thought that you were taking your time to respond. view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: 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. Adhiambo’s 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. ... view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said that it is important for the Ministry of State for Defence to do verification of individuals recruited into the Defence Forces for security reasons. With regard to Ms. Adhiambo, her case has been handed over to the civil police who will go to the Ministry of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons to confirm whether Ms. Adhiambo’s ID card which she presented at the RTS is genuine or not. If it is found that it is not genuine, she will be prosecuted for impersonation. view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we will take appropriate action in the next recruitment. view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not the business of the Ministry of State for Defence to identify individuals looking for a job. It is them to ensure that they are true citizens representing the location or district they are recruited from. If we detect any anomalies--- view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if the hon. Member paid attention, I said that during the verification exercise at the Recruit Training School, Eldoret, when we did the scanning to prove that this was a genuine identity card, we found that Adhiambo’s identity card was not original. Therefore, as a process which we normally follow in the Armed Forces, we refer such cases to the civil police. The civil police now will follow a certain process, whatever it is, to go to the Ministry of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons to find out whether or not this individual is ... view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in our advertisement for those who would like to join the Armed Forces, we normally indicate the type of documents they should come with. The ability and capacity of the Ministry to verify and confirm the identification of citizens is very positive. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, just to respond to the hon. Member’s lecture and remark, because that was not a question, the Armed Forces is not a trade union where you walk in and out. This is an institution of national security. I would like to ask this House to ensure that we do not ... view
