More details have emerged regarding the content of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report three days after its release and two after its official launch.
While the majority of Kenyans have dwelt on the political and leadership part of the report, details indicate that the document also contains more proposals on other issues.
These include a clause indicating that youths will be subjected to a compulsory National Youth Service (NYS) training in between high school and college admission.
The course, which will take a minimum of six months, seeks to mould the youth into responsible citizens by instilling in them the spirit to work.
"All Kenyans should give six months of their lives to national service between the ages of 18 and 26,” reads the report, which says that those not in school will also be involved.
Upon completion, graduates will be awarded certificates, in what seems a revival of an initial campaign where youths were given non-combat paramilitary training, before its halt in the late 1980s.
To prepare students for the training, BBI report suggests that schools come up with volunteer clubs for students.
“Kenyan schools should draw all students into chores and responsibilities that uplift and provide for the school and the broader community,” the report further reads.
Those who want to continue volunteering neigh the service after completing their course will also be allowed to do so, the BBI taskforce suggests.
