Military police on Tuesday evening arrested a former Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) soldier for trying to swindle two unsuspecting victims in Mlolongo, Machakos county. Police said the suspect identified as Washington Mutinda Mutuku was arrested with two forged calling letters for the ongoing KDF recruitment and Sh180,000, which they believe he had been paid. According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), Mutuku had masqueraded as a senior KDF commander. Last week, a first-year university student was among suspects arrested for attempting to bribe KDF recruitment officials at Muluanda in Butere, Kakamega County. One of the suspect was found with Sh27,920 in his pocket and two national identification cards belonging to different persons.
