President William Ruto is currently at the pass-out parade of National Youth Service graduates in Gilgil, Nakuru County.
Upon arrival, the president inspected the parade before taking to the podium.
This is the 87th NYS recruits pass-out parade, and about 10,000 individuals are graduating.
On Monday, the recruits who have undergone a six-month intensive training performed a dress rehearsal where they displayed their ‘excellent’ march past and formation skills.
Deputy Director General in charge of the paramilitary training Jamlick Chabari congratulated the management, instructors and recruits for their commitment and hard work throughout the period.
They were recruited in May in a nationwide mass exercise.
Last week, Public Service and Delivery Management Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria received a brief ahead of the exercise from the acting Director General James Tembur
“We discussed the NYS commercialization and reengineering programmes which I am happy to note are on course as per the directive from President William Ruto,” he said.
