NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 14 – Members of the National Assembly have backed a proposal to create employment opportunities for National Youth Service (NYS) graduates by prioritising their recruitment into government institutions and private security firms.
The Motion, sponsored by Kilifi County MP Gertrude Mbeyu, seeks to establish a policy framework for the structured deployment of NYS graduates as security officers in public institutions, tapping into their training while addressing youth unemployment.
The proposal notes that about 18,000 young people graduate from the NYS annually, even as government institutions continue to rely on private security firms to supplement security services provided by uniformed officers.
