Successful candidates will join the NYS Paramilitary Academy in Gilgil and the National Youth Service Technical Training Institute (NYSTTI) in Naivasha, as specified in their calling letters.
The NYS emphasized that special preference will be given to orphans who meet the qualification criteria, provided they produce documentary proof such as death certificates or burial permits of their parents.
Persons with disabilities are also encouraged to participate in the recruitment at their respective sub-county centers, provided they can withstand the physical demands of the program.
The exercise will be conducted in various counties on specific dates. NYS urges candidates to adhere to the outlined requirements.
Commandant General of the NYS cautioned against corruption during the recruitment process, stating, “NYS does not condone corruption in any form. Canvassing or giving bribes for admission is an offense and may lead to automatic disqualification or prosecution.”
