The recent launch of the National Youth Service programs in the country has brought happiness to the residents of Kibera.
This is evident given the fact that the youth service volunteers have been conducting rehabilitation exercises in the area. Some of the notable services that Kibera has benefited from the youth service include garbage collection and road maintenance as well as repairs.
NYS was suspended following corruptions that rocked the devolution ministry that the volunteer youth served under.
During a recent launch event, President Kenyatta assured the public that the service to the nation initiative shall fully become operational and warned anyone out to engage in corrupt deals that the law will be more unfriendly to them.
To date, the former devolution cabinet secretary, Anne Waiguru is still fighting court battles in a bid to clear her name that was widely mentioned in the NYS scam.
In Kisumu Ndogo, the youth hope the service men shall bring more job opportunities to them as they would like to take part in routine community development duties.
In the past, Kibera youth earned income by working together with the youth service where the government paid them for their labour.
