President Uhuru Kenyatta has commended the National Youth Service Council for its efficiency.
Uhuru said since the establishment of the council after the institution was hit by two major corruption scandals, there has been greater accountability, transparency and effectiveness.
“In this period, NYS decisively moved past the former position that was bedeviled by negative publicity and complaints. I urge you to continue with this good work,” the head of state said.
