President Ruto directs all Kenyans seeking jobs abroad to undergo training at the National Youth Service (NYS) before deployment.
Speaking on December 8, 2023, at the National Youth Service pass-out ceremony in Gilgil, Nakuru, Ruto announced the new directive aims to help job applicants comprehend the nature of their positions and the responsibilities that come with working abroad.
“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,” Ruto stated.
In addition, Ruto promised to deploy part of the Ksh 38B loan secured from India to improve facilitations and machinery for the NYS officers.
“We are going to enhance and modernize the equipment that NYS has, and as part of the modernization, Ksh 7.5 Billion part of the negotiation we had with Prime Minister Modi last week, will be deployed to NYS,” Ruto stated.

He further instructed Public Service Cabinet Secretary, Moses Kuria to liaise with Treasury Cabinet Secretary Njunguna Ndung’u to ensure the officers benefit from the deal.
The announcement comes after CS Moses Kuria earlier indicated that the recruitment of security officers would exclusively be from NYS.
The government is seeking to recruit 100,000 NYS officers every year for the next five years.
With this, it is seeking to double the enrollment of Kenyan youths to the NYS starting next year to match the absorption rate.
“We are doubling enrolment to 40,000 in the Service from next year, and have made it absolutely mandatory that every village, centre, town and city in Kenya is properly represented in the recruitment,” Ruto stated on November 9, 2023.
