JKLIVE | KDF Recruitment call (Part 1)

[@magdalenemuchoki9326]

wow! The general is so articulate and friendly, you forget he is military until you look at his posture, edge of the seat, feet planted, this man is ready to spring into action without warning!.

[@stellahelse1469]

I am quite sure that Lt Gen Jonah Mwangi has never disappointed whoever interacts with him. Avery great Gen and always inspiring. Thank you Gen

[@obiri]

I really liked the interview with LT. General Jonah Mwangi from the Kenya Defense Forces. His straightforward and inspiring way of answering questions was pretty impressive. It's cool how he didn't beat around the bush and just got straight to the point. It would be great if Kenya had something like the Junior ROTC program like the US- it would be awesome to have a program that helps young people develop leadership skills and all that. Also, they’ll know about requirements ahead of time such as the tattoo thing.

I was rejected from joining Kenya Military for missing a single molar. However, upon migrating to the US, I actually got recruited, my teeth fixed and served over 20 years later. Loved it!!

We are primitive over here

[@edwinmuturi8839]

@@allan8877 you talking about USA? tell me my friend, what is the budget allocation for the ministry of defense in USA? will KDF make risk its small budget fixing everybody's teeth?????

May the Good Lord bless you Lt Gen J.Mwangi. You are an inspiration.

Commendable job LT. GENERAL JONAH MWANGI indeed it inspiring one to us and entire country. Keep the good work.

[@jamesndegwa540]

An officer and a gentleman, I had the opportunity to interact with him professionally and it was an honor.

[@cosmasmarisi4414]

This man is very knowledgeable. Thanks General for serving our country.

[@Grigor_Andolov]

Well trained, well cultured. Very good job General!

[@wandacadofarm.5759]

A very sober general and a great communicator

[@lucasamutabi9737]

The General is well articulated he has experience in the this field and he has idea what is on the ground

[@mohamudadan9549]

Knowledgeable, orator and very humble general. Please mentor young men and women under your leadership to emulate you. You look a very good Kenyan.

[@ianoduor3116]

I love the general he deserves to be the general actually...He articulates issues more than most politicians in the country...I like the defense system

[@victorthravinking]

I support the Lieutenant General..standards in the military should be upheld. This is one area we cannot afford to joke with!

[@lucasamutabi9737]

Good job both of you jeff for your good questions and well answering

[@markodipo3514]

Gen. You are great God bless you. Explanation on point.

[@sumbajoseph1855]

[@kennoreje6083]

Very competent and eloquent. Good job

[@bobonyancha7918]

We support our soldiers. Only those who throw out us during recruitment are not fair.

[@victorthravinking]

I like the way the Lieutenant General laughs a bit and goes back to serious face. It shows that we have a competent force in place, both human and professional. Remember our boundary enemies are also watching...

[@kaykay5605]

Laughter and serious faces is a sign of competence? Thats laughable

[@bonnybonny8403]

This guy is very smart. Wow. I am totally impressed. Good work general. You make me want to become an officer lakini miaka ishapita. 😂 Once again Good job genral!

[@kingsleygeemwas1414]

We know this all opportunity if you don't have money you cnt get 😢

[@panic_seller]

They're going to recruit more Kalenjins this year, Kikuyus will be considered, anything else doesn't meet the qualifications, unless you have money. If you get recruited from any other community and you didn't pay then you are extremely special

[@MrJumaLOkal]

These are just words, the actual thing taking place cannot be changed. I was disqualified in 1992 at Homabay after undergoing all processes and we were only remaining 7 at 14hrs. An officer asked me to disclose the person I came with! This was Greek to me! Upon telling him that I desired to join the Air-force after recruitment were announcements over the radio. He then checked my urine and claimed that it had blood stain and am sick. He thereby dismissed me by throwing my papers to the wind. However up to today my kidneys are still good and am well. So was I sick or I just had no money, person to buy me the opportunity?

[@benm6720]

You saw the blood too, where did it come from bilharzia?

[@stoner21]

Bruh soma Vizuri uelewe he was disqualified hivyo tu

[@thomasejore1714]

Kdf is most corrupt institution in kenya...more than the police

[@marwanicholas7499]

I really like Jeff's questions

[@kipkoechdennis5201]

Waaw this is the best conversation ever

[@kipngetichlangat4307]

This man is wow 🎉

[@parenkapadia3606]

Please Mr.Jeff Ask The Lt.General. Mr. Johan Mwangi, If A Civilian Wants To Come Just For Training ONLY, But Not To Join As A KDF SOLDIER.

[@Ben-fb8he]

NYS....

[@makundaleslie9910]

[@Politicopulsetvsh]

I just hope the process will be fair to accommodate the Wanjikus

[@princefidel]

The general is bright and disciplined as well

[@markmteule4956]

The General is really fit for the rank. He is very eloquent!

[@ngugirahab6733]

Problem with recruitment is corruption. Many young graduated who meet all the academic and physical requirements are rejected...and those who bribe taken.

[@yo_bb_y]

Very humble officer

[@michaeljumbaglobal]

Regarding the issue of height and weight, the KDF is backward. KDF need to adopt OSH and Ergonomics systems of fitting the job to the individual. If a weapon is 4 feet long and we have a short soldier, they can procure or modify weapons for them. Innovation is what makes armies great. That goes for USA, UK Army and others.

[@electronicsartssports689]

Wake up to reality my brother and welcome to Africa how was your journey from America😅

[@SolomonChagwa]

For the height does alot my brother

[@benardonyuma7127]

Jeff like I his confidence and intelligent

You will get it bro, look start running training Friday morning and evening, 30 minutes running slowly every day while increasing the speed and reducing time until the recruitment ❤❤❤ I wish you good success my guy 💪

[@kipkoechdennis5201]

[@frankomondi4993]

but the problem is if you are recruited as a artisan they dont recognize it unless you have a godfather you will be recognized

[@misheckmwangi1805]

One question how does 26 yrs have a beneficial for service men cadet so I think you should extend to 32 yrs coz training can't affect anything coz if a specialist trains up to 39 do you we should give other people opportunities
