“My dream is to have recruits to go through NYS before being employed by the government." 

Public Service Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has proposed all new government employees to go through the National Youth Service (NYS). 

Speaking on Wednesday, October 25 in Ruaraka, CS Kuria said the move will allow the government to trace back its employees. 

“My dream is that before someone is appointed to a government job, they must go through the National Youth Service (NYS) so that even those people who are going to be in the ministries of Labour, Water, and Lands, we can trace them back from the factory where they were created,” said Kuria.

The Public Service CS vowed to push the proposal in the Cabinet to be approved.

“I want to ensure that I push this policy and I am going to present a cabinet memo for Cabinet to approve that any new hiring in the public service, people have to come with NYS certificates,” he added.  

At the same time, the former Gatundu South lawmaker said all civil servants must retire at the age of sixty years.

"When one reaches the age of sixty, please go home, there are others who, when they reach fifty-eight, remember they have disabilities and hence extend their time.

“I am waiting for a report of those people who are misusing our generosity, the President has said it very clearly that when one reaches the age of sixty, they should go home and stop looking for other reasons,” said Kuria. 

The Public Service CS further announced that the next National Police Service (NPS) and Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) recruitment will be exclusively from NYS.
