Recruitment officers were dispatched to various parts of the country after the launch.
In Lamu, women who turned up at Kibaki Grounds were told that there was no slot for women from the county.
Miraa chewers and candidates with tattoos were in for a shock as many were left due to stained teeth and decorations on their bodies.
In Nyeri County, KDF raised concerns over the low turnout.
The Kenya Defence Forces recruitment of servicemen and servicewomen, and constables started on Monday amid complaints of few slots for women.
Vice Chief of Defence Forces, Lt. Gen. Robert Kibochi, warned that there was an increase in the number of people soliciting money from the public by claiming they could secure recruitment in the forces.
