    "content": "Sometimes, it has been assumed that some of those young people who are recruited into NYS do not make it academically to go to the other colleges or universities. The only thing they have may be the physical aspect of them. Having worked in the academia for a number of years, I know this is not true. When people are doing exams, sometimes things happen; that people are not even able to get the mark that they were targeting to get. Second to that, my colleague has just mentioned the concept of people living with disabilities. If the matter is to give people skills, then it is true that even some people who cannot run may be having the ability to be trained to get those skills and still participate in development. NYS should be one of the avenues that our young people can follow to progress to other higher aspects of life that their dreams may be inclined to. For those of us who have been keen, we should not only find this military thing, but also other skills. The paramilitary skill is the most obvious because those people are given proper paramilitary training and when they leave the camps, they are more of soldiers than the skilled labour that we are talking about. We have witnessed, with a lot of dismay - because the Government has had no plans as to where to take those people - those guys harassing people. During campaigns and the electioneering period, we witnessed in Migori County, men and women clothed in the NYS clothes brutally killing innocent people. Those people would not be aggressive and brutal if they had something significant to hope and look for. Now, because there is no exit and continuity, they get misused at some stage. If we can provide an idea like this of encouraging the military and the police to recruit and give those people priority, it will be a good idea. For sustainability reasons, it is good to make sure that those people have something to look forward to so that they can keep progressing in their skill until they reach the highest level of their participation."
