• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what kind of transparency do you expect from the Armed Forces other than going to every location and district and conduct recruitment exercises in the stadia? view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if the hon. Member was very attentive, I said that anytime we undertake the recruitment exercise, we put certain conditions which a candidate must meet. One of the conditions, are the documents required; that is, the identity card and original educational certificate. At the recruitment centre, whatever you bring is provided to the recruiting officer who will look at it. However, they do not have a scanning machine at that particular time. We do the scanning when you report to the Recruitment Training School. So, when Ms. Adhiambo went to the Recruitment Training School in Eldoret ... view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know really what the hon. Member expects me to tell him. I said that when Ms. Adhiambo presented her identity card at the recruiting centre, she was recruited based on that identity card of hers. But when she reported to Eldoret, her identity card was found not be original. That is why we handed over her case to the police. Do you understand? view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think it is important that when we ask questions, we avoid being emotional. We need to understand that we conduct verification of documents at the Recruitment Training School. We have the capacity and the capability. We have all the machines and that is why we take fingerprints. We do not take fingerprints at the recruitment centers. That is why some people, after three months of training, are found to be criminals. Some of them are chased midway in their training. That is why we do fingerprinting, scan their ID cards and their certificates. We also ... view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I really do not know what the hon. Member wants me to tell him. I said that verification takes place at the Recruitment Training School in Eldoret where we do the fingerprinting. At the recruitment centers, for example in my district Kajiado, we do not do finger printing there because people present themselves there for jobs. People present their original documents to be recruited. Later, we have to know who is Nkaissery from Eldoret. Is he a criminal? That is why we do fingerprinting, check your certificates and contact KNEC and Criminal Investigations Department (CID). If ... view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with regard to the validity of the document, when it was scanned, it was found not to be original. So, we are waiting for the police to confirm that. We have forwarded that case to the police. I am trying to answer my hon. colleague. I am a military General and I am talking from experience and knowledge. So, he should not push me to tell him the “truth” about the matter because I have already told him the truth. The validity will be known when the police come up with a report. view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am at a loss because you gave the questioner the last opportunity to ask his question. But it is being followed by several points of order. view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the sake of clarity, I said that if she is found to be genuine, we will take her in the next recruitment. That is because of two reasons. I want hon. Members to listen to me. I said earlier that--- view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to respond to the point of order. view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am responding to a point of order. I think we need to learn the Standing Orders of this House. I said that if Ms. Adhiambo’s case if found to be genuine, we will take her during the next recruitment. view
