[Boniface Okendo, Standard]President Uhuru Kenyatta has justified his incorporation of the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) into state agencies. Speaking today at the Madaraka Day celebrations at Uhuru Gardens in Nairobi, Uhuru was quick to enumerate why he has had to involve the military. "We turn to our disciplined forces, and we summon them to the course of nation-building. “When we gave them the Kenya Meat Commission to manage, they turned it into a profit-making enterprise within a year," said Uhuru. This institution had collapsed due to mismanagement and corruption, and then last year we handed it over to the disciplined forces.
