President Uhuru Kenyatta (pictured) is at the Recruit Training School (RTS) Moi Barracks in Eldoret, Uasin Gishu County to preside over a pass out of new Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) soldiers.

The soldiers – Kenya Army, Kenya Navy and Airforce who have concluded their military training are set to take their oath of allegiance to defend the country’s borders.

The Head of State has already landed at the training school.

For the first time since independence, the public have been barred from attending the event due the Covid-19 pandemic.
