Up to 5000 youths were selected during the nationwide Kenya National Youth Service 2010 recruitment exercise which took place during the month of December.

When the recruits reported for training this year, it was discovered that about 218 of them were there illegally. They were recruited using fake documents which contained forged signatures.

It is alleged that the said recruits paid up to Shs 14 million in bribes to corrupt NYS officials as each parted with between 50 - 70k  to be recruited. They were then issued fake admission letters forged at Nairobi's Luthuli avenue.

The Kenya National Youth Service's mandate is to train the youth in technical & vocational skills in order to facilitate their engagement later in the national economy. NYS recruits also acquire paramilitary training & absorbed into the police or army forces.

Kenya Police Service Recruitment 2011

Recruitment of officers into the Administration Police and Kenya Police Services had been put on hold late 2009.

This was to pave way for police reforms and for the Government to review the police training program.
Kenya's Administration Police Officers

The temporary ban was lifted around August 2010.

It was then announced that the Police would to take up  around 7000 new recruits but it didn't happen.

With Police recruitment not taking place last year, I reckon it might happen early this year.

This prediction can be supported by the fact that the year has started with Kenya Wildlife Service conducting its Rangers recruitment exercise.

An anonymous reader also left a comment stating that police recruitment is expected to take place early this year.

Kenyan Military Corruption Scandals 2010

Last year, the military was on the spot light for some grand corruption scandals.

The following are just but a few of those the media exposed.

Top DOD officials favorably awarded a multi billion tender for the supply of armored personnel carriers to a South African firm leaving out 4 other firms which had been singled out for consideration during the tendering process. It is believed the DOD master minds behind this laughed all the way to the bank.

There are this second hand F5 fighter jets  purchased from Jordan which cost tax payers a fortune but have never flown. It is said that the jets were dismantled, shipped and assembled locally instead of being flown to Kenya. They could have been in good condition before they were dismantled. But why should the Government procure old planes to replace the Air force's  already aged fleet?

There was a contract worth $10 million awarded to an Israeli firm to refurbish and upgrade a fleet of the army's armoured scout cars. The Israeli company was to fit the aged cars with new engines but the engines failed to perform.

A young girl's dream of joining the army was cut short after she was sent away from the military's recruits  training school over pregnancy claims. This was despite the fact that she had received an invitation letter and an Airforce service number allotted to her. The girl denied she was pregnant and its believed that money was paid for her position to be given to another.
