The Cabinet Secretary for Public Service, Human Capital Development and Special Programmes, Geoffrey Ruku, has called on the National Youth Service (NYS) to effect suspension letters against its three senior managers.
Ruku said the implementation of suspension letters will play a key role in upholding accountability and restoring discipline within the institution.
Speaking during the official handover ceremony of the NYS Council Chair at the NYS headquarters in Ruaraka, Ruku emphasised that any public officer unwilling to embrace good governance and responsible service delivery should step aside. "Articles 10 and 232 of the Constitution are clear on the need for a public service rooted in integrity, accountability, and professionalism," he said, adding, "Public officers must ensure efficient and effective use of resources, uphold transparency, and serve all Kenyans fairly and responsively."

"We have individuals who believe they can take advantage of NYS, but we must protect and guard it as a public institution.
Resources must be managed appropriately and efficiently to achieve the intended goals," he warned.
