Murkomen questioned why citizens are often quick to record politicians but fail to document acts of corruption that affect ordinary Kenyans.
“We want citizens to be observers during recruitment. If you see someone trying to bribe, record it and report it to us. Together, we can fight corruption,” he added.
Murkomen also directed recruitment officials to strictly follow the scheduled timelines for the exercise, emphasizing that all activities must conclude by 5pm each day across all centers nationwide.
