President William Ruto announced that police recruitment, stalled for over three years, will resume next month, with 4,000 of 10,000 new positions reserved for National Youth Service (NYS) graduates. This decision aims to absorb disciplined NYS graduates into national service and other disciplined forces, including the Kenya Defence Forces, and affordable housing schemes.

• 10,000 new police officers will be hired, with 4,000 slots for NYS graduates.
• The recruitment, set for next month, follows a three-year hiatus due to budgetary constraints.
• NYS graduates will also receive priority in the Kenya Defence Forces and affordable housing programs.
• The National Police Service (NPS) will use a new online recruitment system to curb fraud.
