What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Members of Parliament questioned the government regarding the fate of approximately 18,000 young Kenyans who graduate from the National Youth Service (NYS) annually. Kilifi County MP Gertrude Mbeyu proposed a policy framework to prioritize NYS graduates for employment as security officers in government institutions and private security firms. This proposal seeks to address the disconnect between the government's investment in training and youth labor market absorption.
