A Kenya Defence Forces soldier was Monday jailed for five--and-a-half years for collecting bribes of over Sh500,000 million meant to aid in the recruitment of a youth into the military.

Fred Kiptum Kiplagat was found guilty of receiving bribes in two tranches of Sh300,000 and Sh102,500 to aid one Brian Kipkemoi to get recruited into KDF in April this year.
