Disciplined forces in the country have been accused of not following President Uhuru Kenyatta’s order on hiring NYS graduates.
Early this year, the head of state said that he expected compliance updates regarding the order.
However, according to Public Service Chief Administrative Secretary Rachel Shebesh the order has not been implemented effectively.
“When the disciplined forces want recruits, they do engage us but not on our trained servicemen and women. They look for recruits who have already left the service and therefore, the youth component is lost,” Shebesh said.
She was speaking before the National Assembly Labour and Social Welfare committee.
Shebesh was responding to a query by Bura MP Ali Wario who wanted to know about the progress of implementing the order.“
What is the essence of having a presidential directive? There is no way a presidential directive will fail to be implemented. Otherwise what is the work of the Cabinet?” queried Wario.
