Wiper Patriotic Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka has reiterated that recruitment of persons to security forces including the army and the police must remain professional and not skewed to favour a certain tribe.
Mr Musyoka said recruiting a majority of the personnel from a certain ethnic community risked distabalizing the country as it happened in Rwanda during the genocide.
Speaking at the Salvation Army church in Tala town/Matungulu constituency on Sunday where he was accompanied Machakos Deputy Governor Francis Mwangangi and Matungulu MP Stephen Mule and other Wiper leaders, Mr Musyoka challenged the government to declare how it has recruited officers into the defence forces in the last four years.
"I have given the government one week to declare how many people have been recruited into our defence forces in the last four years," said Mr Musyoka.
He claimed that professionalism in the Defence Forces had been watered down.
"If the current recruitment practice continues it may lead to a situation like Rwanda during the genocide. The Tutsi were not the majority but they owned weapons,"he said.
"If you do skewed recruitment in our defense forces to create a tribal army you are destabilizing this country Mr Ruto. Please hear me,the army must remain professional," he added.
The Wiper Leader said he must speak up because institutions that were supposed to keep the government in check including Parliament had been compromised.
Mr Musyoka also said the Teachers Service Commission should remain independent adding that allegations that employment letters for teachers were being issued at State House was enough reason for the entire TSC to resign and apologize to Kenyans.
Speaker Moses Wetangula is on record confessing that employment letters for teachers were being issued to some Members of Parliament at State House.
Machakos Deputy Governor Francis Mwangangi said President William Ruto has failed Kenyans saying this reflected the difficult economic reality facing millions of Kenyans under the Kenya Kwanza administration.
Mwangangi said that the rising cost of living, heavy taxation, unemployment and declining purchasing power have made life increasingly difficult for ordinary families across the country.
"Kenyans deserve leadership that listens, restores hope and puts their welfare above political interests. We must build a country where opportunity, dignity and prosperity are accessible to all—not just a privileged few," the DG added
Matungulu MP Stephen Mule asked the President to disclose the names of the MPs that he had given employment letters.
"If you are not giving us the numbers you have employed through back door, teachers,police,nurses,army officers,we are giving you seven days otherwise we will bring a motion for NICC to investigate through Parliament to make sure that Kenyans know who violated their rights," said Mr Mule.
Mr Mule said the United Opposition would call on all independent institutions to set up mechanisms to identify how the government was planning to rig the elections.
He said the United opposition had a plan to ensure that the country was governed through the rule of law contrary to assertions by the President that the opposition had no plan.
