A company contracted by the US Government has been recruiting ex-military men and former police officers to serve in war-torn Iraq.

The Standard has established that Sentry Security of East Africa Limited, a liaison company for Sentry Security of East Africa, USA, is targeting to take some 800 Kenyans to serve in Iraq.

The first batch of ex-army soldiers and former police officers with clean service records is expected to leave the country sometime this month, according to sources privy to the exercise.

The recruitment of the former security personnel, aged between 30 and 50, has been going on across the country for the past two months.

Necessary documents have been made available

A team of 65 ex-military men code-named Gilgil One is scheduled to meet in Gilgil town on Saturday, the sources said on Thursday.

A senior US Army officer, only identified as Colonel Franks, attended the first meeting in Nairobi, an indication that the recruitment has the blessings of both the Kenyan and American governments.
