The Cabinet Secretary for Public Service, Performance and Delivery Management Moses Kuria, recently made an announcement emphasizing the transparency and fairness of the NYS recruitment process.

In his statement on X, he assured all Kenyans that there would be no special lists or preferential treatment for any candidates, including government officials.

The Cabinet Secretary confirmed that all 15,000 NYS Servicemen and Servicewomen will be recruited from Sub-county recruitment centers.

According to Kuria, to maintain transparency, the successful candidates will have their names posted on a public portal within one hour after the closure of the recruitment exercise.

This step eliminates any possibility of creating special lists or providing preferential treatment to certain individuals.

“The successful candidates will be posted in a public portal 1 hour after the closure of the exercise. No one will have a special list,” Kuria said.

Moses Kuria's message emphasized that the recruitment process aims to provide equal opportunities to all young Kenyans.

The Cabinet Secretary further stated that every youth in the country deserves a fair chance at participating in the NYS program, emphasizing that President William Ruto and he are committed to ensuring this opportunity without fear or favour.

“All the youth in this country deserve an opportunity. President William Ruto and I will give this fair opportunity to all young people without fear or favour,” he added.

The National Youth Service (NYS) in Kenya had earlier announced a countrywide recruitment exercise for Volunteer Serviceman and Servicewoman positions.

The recruitment exercise will take place from 5th to 9th February 2024. Candidates are advised to check the specific recruitment date for their sub-county, as listed in the link below.
