    "content": "Recruitment involves cost. As units of the disciplined forces go around the country recruiting in every sub-county, it normally involves money. The Kenya Defence Forces, National Police Service, Kenya Prisons Service and Kenya Wildlife Service do their own recruitment. If we were to absorb the majority of NYS graduates, who are about 20,000, into our disciplined forces, the cost of recruitment for our disciplined forces would reduce significantly. We would save on costs. National Youth Service recruitment is normally competitive. It is done in all sub- counties. It considers gender and all ethnic communities. The youth undergo medical check-ups. The NYS recruits represent the face of the country. The recruitment is not biased. Therefore, if our disciplined forces recruit from the NYS graduates, members of the disciplined forces will still reflect the face of Kenya, and we will save on recruitment costs."
