34 young people from Mulot, Bomet county have been arrested in Eldoret while reporting to the Recruits Training School (RTS) after being deceived by conmen that they were to replace Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) recruits.

Confirming the incident, Uasin Gishu County Police Commander Benjamin Mwanthi noted that the youth currently being held at Baharani Police Station in Turbo Sub-County were arrested last evening while being transported in three PSV vehicles.

Mwanthi said investigations have so far commenced to reveal the culprits behind the con game, noting that individuals took advantage of rumours being peddled that some recruits were turned back from RTS due to medical issues.

He, at the same time, cautioned Kenyans to be wary of cons and report such issues to the relevant authorities.
