Public Service CS Moses Kuria is excited about the opportunity to send 1 million National Youth Service (NYS) officers to fill positions that President William Ruto has arranged internationally.

Kuria announced on Monday that these servicemen will be deployed to various countries within the next year. With an initial batch of 40 NYS officers arriving in the UK for potential employment, Kuria is resolute in sending at least 1 million individuals, who have served as well as those who are presently in service, abroad for prearranged job opportunities. The CS took to his social media platforms to inform the public about these prospects, thrilling many Kenyans whose likelihood of getting job allocation has just increased.

He stresses the importance of NYS's objective to offer job prospects to young individuals at home and abroad. Moreover, he conveys that they will partner with local governments to allocate servicemen for civil initiatives and climate change mitigation. Additionally, they will establish strong alliances with state departments and companies to ensure employment opportunities for NYS youths.

At the 87th NYS recruits' graduation ceremony in Gilgil on December 8, Kuria emphasized NYS's commitment to helping its graduates secure employment on a global scale. He mentioned that he will actively pursue job prospects for aspiring individuals, irrespective of the location. He highlighted that his goal is to ensure our youth have access to drug-free opportunities.

Kuria encourages interested individuals to enrol in the NYS before their deployment abroad. He also defends his stance on pursuing job opportunities for Kenyans abroad despite criticisms. He remains resolute in his cause, believing that his trips have contributed positively to the economy and employment prospects for fellow citizens.
