    "content": "It is important for us as a House to agree that those who will be recruited into our disciplined services are those who will have gone through the NYS training so that we avoid duplication of paramilitary training. Training of the recruits by the disciplined services will start from where they left at the NYS. This will save the country money and ensure that the youth of this country are treated fairly. As the Mover of the Motion said, currently, we do not know where the youth who have been discharged from NYS are. We are currently grappling with issues of insecurity. You give someone paramilitary training and discharge him from service without knowing where that person goes to. We might be training robbers in this country and we do not know. It is, therefore, important that we plan for the NYS servicemen and servicewomen in terms of where we want to dispel them to after training. Where do we settle them as opposed to training them and leaving them to “whom it may concern”? We are doing a disservice to this country. We double-budget for training on matters which can be streamlined through a very clear model of ensuring that a young person who undergoes paramilitary training at the NYS will eventually join any of our disciplined services – the National Police Service, the Kenya Defence Forces, the Kenya Forest Service, among others – as opposed to the situation we are facing in this country today."
