Ministry of Public Service and Delivery Management CS Mosses Kuria has announced that 3,000 police officers will be recruited from the National Youth Service.
The recruitment, the CS said, is part of the partnership between the NYS and the National Police Service.
CS Kuria added that another group of 1,500 officers will be recruited to the Kenya Wildlife Service.
"We have agreed with the Inspector General of Police that the next intake of 3,000 officers will be recruited from NYS. We have also talked with Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS) and 1,500 recruits will be from NYS," he stated.
The CS spoke on Wednesday when he unveiled the NYS Reengineering program during his inaugural visit to the National Youth Service headquarters in Ruaraka.
Furthermore, he endorsed the recruitment of 15,000 individuals for the next police force cohort, with the condition that they pass through NYS.
He also emphasized that the government would enhance the Huduma Center and hire individuals from the NYS.
"Public Service will establish more than 800 Huduma Centres across the country, which will be run by officers drawn from NYS," Kuria pointed.
The NYS call centre will handle feedback and complaints about public service delivery.
"NYS will have the establishment of a call centre under the Pasha Programme to be domiciled at NYS Headquarters," the CS added.
He said the ministry will identify employment opportunities in the government, and private sector as well as employment opportunities outside Kenya for NYS graduates.
"Guards manning government offices and buildings must be drawn from NYS to help in their absorption," Kuria added.
