JKLIVE | KDF Recruitment call (Part 1) 

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!.

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!!

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

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.

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

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.

Well trained, well cultured. Very good job General!

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

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

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

A very sober general and a great communicator

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

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!

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...

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

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

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

Was turned away in 2007 in limuru stadium i thought God hated me but now i stand to be counted as united states Army

great interview ...thank you for your service Lt Gen

He is resides where I work and is a very humble man and good hearted

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

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

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

May our good God bless you very inspiring

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

Very competent and eloquent. Good job

This man is very authentic and prisicive with military information..

This Lt. General is informed and straight to the point.

One day I will join military that's my passion 🥺

Waaw this is the best conversation ever

The general is bright and disciplined as well

I really like Jeff's questions

Well articulated Lt Gen.

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.

This man is wow 🎉

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

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?

I just pray to God to open the way for me in this recruit

Very humble officer

Whata masterpiece. Very well put sir.

Jeff like I his confidence and intelligent

Really good if goes as he explains

General seems to be soo friendly and free he has explained everything well but I look forward to meet him soon to have my say also

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.

Lt john mwangi is so competent

This man is very composed

What a wonderful general ❤

The interview is cool ❤

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

Deep down this officer knows very well that the main requirement is 500k

without money & tribal backgrounds.. especially in Nandi county - FORGET IT!

All the best to the new recruits

Very knowledgeable

Among all the forces KDF is the most fair!

May God open a way for me this year

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

This guy explained nicely why they look at the teeths

The inteviwee has good English indeed

KDF is just like a bathroom, who are OUT can't wait to get IN......who are IN they wish to get OUT real quick.....I HAVE BEEN THERE, DONE THAT !!!

General china has shorter people than Kenyans but yet they have better military than Kenya!even believed currently that it has the strongest army on earth and has larger standing arm of 1m on earth ithink thw height think wer going wrong

Good

Please talk about money

Ask VCDF how many are they targeting in tradesman and women

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

It’s unfortunate how Britain colonized even our systems to date. The break off of ambitions for nothing. No everyone is a kipchoge. That’s why no country can defeat Israel. Everyone is a military officer by birth. Afterwords you can choose whatever you wanna be .

Very nice

isnt anybody gonna ask wat we all have in our minds,,,,,are we being recruited to go to sudan😅😅😅😅😅coz id join...that is if were going to sudan

To much talks come to US or Uk u can join with tattoo .

😅 will x-NYS be looked upon on their discharge cirtificate.concerning the year where in service i.e the one with Good n very good years differ check out please

How about if am joining as a thief? There are many serving thieves I know

I really like the way the lieutenant general Jonah mwangi deserve s😂😂😂

Not just KDF ukiwa na tattoo ujue kupata kazi yeyote ni ngumu.

And why all is Kenya but other counts recruitment you take more people ?why you are not taking the same numbers each county.?

what if person has small injuries for fotbal

This is a future CDF

So Jeff just ask the chief if someone can join Air force having failed mathematics bt english ed sciences am superb

Very humble General

I kenya youths fight over these job but deloped countries there almost forced to join our economy is poor

It will be free and fare Fare is the key word

What about scars jeff???😮

Finese!

Ati birthmarks getiing in contact with weight will do what ??? You have a long way to go General

Hello nice soja
