Defence Cabinet Secretary Honorable Soipan Tuya has elicited mixed reactions online after failing to honor an invitation by the Senate to explain how Kenyans are going through difficulties in applying for military jobs.
Speaking on his experience, Kakamega County Senator Boni Khalwale explained how it is outrageous for Kenyans to be asked to pay over four hundred thousand shillings to qualify for positions.

The allegations from Khalwale has opened a Pandora box that many Kenyans have been keeping for long. It has been claimed before that people are asked to bribe their way to the military.
