Government to Send 1 M NYS Officers Abroad
Public Service Commissioner Moses Kuria anticipates using one million National Youth Service (NYS) agents to cover positions that President William Ruto obtained overseas.
Kuria announced on Monday that the military members will be dispersed throughout the course of the upcoming year among other nations.
For readily available positions, Kenya has already dispatched 40 of its first class of NYS officials to the UK.
Through his social media accounts, Kuria stated, “We will also target to deploy at least 1 million past, current, and future NYS service men and women for already negotiated jobs abroad.”
The CS reiterated that NYS will target employment for youths both nationally and internationally as one of its reform mandates.
Furthermore, they will deploy the servicemen to carry out a wide range of civil works and climate mitigations in partnership with county governments.
They will also collaborate closely with state agencies and state-owned businesses to find employment for young people in New York State.
Speaking on December 8 at the 87th NYS recruits pass-out parade in Gilgil, Kuria claimed that New York State was leading the way in helping its graduates find employment abroad.
President Ruto gave NYS a directive to expand recruitment from 20,000 to 40,000 annually in an effort to boost youth employment rates.
“Wherever there are jobs, I will seek out employment options for our young people. As long as the positions don’t require using drugs, I’ll take them there,” Ruto declared.
Furthermore, he advised Kenyans who were considering applying for jobs abroad to join NYS before to deployment.
“Already we are concluding negotiations with Germany, Saudi Arabia, and 8 other countries on the export of labour, and NYS will be the central organisation for redeployment training so that Kenyans understand what they need to do for work as labour that is exported,” he stated.
But his intention to look for work outside of Kenya has caused a stir; the opposition accuses him of promoting brain drain.
Ruto said, however, that his foreign travels had been effective in boosting the country’s economy and providing work for Kenyans.
Which would you prefer—me moving to America or me sitting in Nairobi watching Kenya burn? Would you prefer that I stay home instead of going to South Korea to resolve the power transmission and electrical issues? He defended himself, saying, “I can account for every shilling I have spent on my travels.”
