The Kenya Defence Forces Act, 2012, is the primary legislation governing the recruitment and service of personnel in the KDF. It outlines the general requirements for joining the KDF, but it does not explicitly specify a height requirement.

    • Being a Kenyan citizen

    • Being of good character

    • Being physically and mentally fit

    • Meeting the prescribed educational qualifications

    • Meeting the prescribed age requirements

    • Meeting the prescribed medical standards

  • The Kenya Defence Forces Act, 2012 does not explicitly state a height requirement for joining the KDF. However, it is likely that the KDF has internal regulations or guidelines that specify height requirements for different roles within the force. These regulations are not publicly available.
