Public Service Cabinet Secretary Geoffrey Ruku is pushing for institutional reforms at the National Youth Service (NYS), including plans to commercialise its operations through the establishment of a National Youth Enterprise.
Speaking on Spice FM on Wednesday, June 6, Ruku said the government is exploring ways to generate revenue from NYS by leveraging the skills of its trainees in sectors such as security and engineering. "Moving forward, we are going to start commercialization.
Can we use the skills in NYS to make money from the youths who offer security and engineering activities," said Ruku. "The law that governs NYS needs to be amended.
The Act can be tailored to suit the future," he added.
