LET THE SOMALI RECRUIT SOLDIERS FROM KENYA

The news in the press about the availability of jobs in the Somalia government army was received with mixed feelings amongst Kenyans .It is obvious that the parents will not be happy if their kids went to serve a foreign law less country as military officers .No one can be sure that whatever is going in that country could be genuine ,especially when they continue doing the recruitments in secret in the bush .It could be another Alqaeda like movement .How the hell can someone know that and be sure that the Somalia government has decided to recruit soldiers from beyond her borders before they advertise it officially through the media and they receive permission from the Kenyan Government to legally go on with the activity in the country after which the Kenyan youth will have to go for the recruitment on their own wish and not under anybody’s orders .







Kenya has Unemployment problems and only those who have gone through it can understand what we are talking about here .Serving in the army is just part of this game though here it might look odd a little because here you will be serving a different country an not your homeland.







One thing wasn’t clear here, were this youths hired to fight like terrorists or were they going to be recruited officially in the Somali army as soldiers .WE hope they are not terrorist who were contracted to go and terrorize the Somali people .If the above is not the case, then you have to think twice and reconsider the conditions of the Kenyan youths who were said to have joined the training camps in the coast province to go and serve in Somalia.







This youths are jobless and perhaps, without a hope of ever getting a job in life .Then, the said country has just popped up with hundreds of thousands of jobs in their army and with a fair pay of forty four thousand shillings per month for the lowest ranks .Sincerely speaking, no one can turn this down in such conditions .Furthermore, you are not going to become a gangster but a legal government soldier .The Somalia government will surely drain Kenya of her youths.







The Somali people are making a mistake here and the mistake is that ,they are doing it secretly .The thing is that if they have decided to recruit soldiers from outside their own boundaries this time ,just the same way they have been employing drivers ,teachers nurses accountants and so on ,they will have to do it in a better way than this .They should have solved it out with the Kenyan government and received their permission to go on with these activities in a formal manner just the same way they do for the other kinds of jobs .They would then have advertised through the media that they wanted to recruit soldiers from our country and then they would have done the way the army does or which ever way they would have it.







Up to here ,one thing that must be clearly understood is that this actually job opportunities in that country and not another terrorist movement but because of the way it is being done ,it has looked like that .So ,the best thing to do is to put to table the legal procedures that are supposed to be followed here an then follow them one by one and lets us give the boys jobs in the army ,just the same way we do in the hospitals ,schools and so on .
