  "summary": "Members of the National Assembly in Kenya have backed a proposal to create employment opportunities for National Youth Service (NYS) graduates by prioritising their recruitment into government institutions and private security firms. The Motion, sponsored by Kilifi County MP Gertrude Mbeyu, seeks to establish a policy framework for the structured deployment of NYS graduates as security officers in public institutions. The proposal notes that about 18,000 young people graduate from the NYS annually, while government institutions continue to rely on private security firms to supplement security services. The Motion calls on the National Government to develop guidelines for youth employment in line with Article 55 of the Constitution, with ministries, departments and agencies encouraged to prioritise NYS graduates for supplementary security roles.",
