    "content": "they would find their way into their careers. Others would go to universities while others would go to other institutions and become professionals. I think it is not the intent of NYS… and that is why I support Hon. Muchira. We need to give priority to graduates from the NYS because when they go there, service is their priority, they do not go there for money. As one of the Members who spoke before said, we are people who are thinking disciplined forces is the only place that still employs and gives the assurance of a salary. So you have people that are joining the disciplined forces not because they have a call to serve the country but because that is the only available career. The young men in NYS are there for service. It is a shame that the once celebrated service or programme has become a disgrace in this country because of the scams, corruption and looting. To bring this to an end, this has to be changed and the money that has been wasted today by a few individuals should be used to do a good recruitment/training programme. The NYS is used for political purposes. Politicians bring them to the villages to clear roads and say they are giving work to the young people. After they are done with the training, they come back home and there is nothing that they can do. In the past we even had NYS buses that plied on the roads and offered more reasonable bus fare to the citizens of this country. I remember in my town of Kakamega, NYS buses used to come all the way. We can make this profitable to our young people in this country, clean up the mess in this country because as it is, it is horrible. Being a Bishop, I think NYS needs me to pray for them. We need to clean and chase the demons that are at NYS, because they have very many scams. Hon. Sankok, you will join me as we go to Gilgil and all those places, pray, kick out the demons and make sure you have an envelope as an offering for me. I will not do it for free. I support this Motion and say it is time that proper measures are put in place so that this programme can support young people and they can be recruited because their motto is service and not salary. I support the Motion."
