The Kenyan government plans to establish a new state corporation within the National Youth Service (NYS) to commercialise its operations and create employment for young people. This initiative aims to transform NYS into a more productive and self-sustaining entity, aligning with government economic agendas.

• The proposed entity, named the National Youth Service Enterprises and Services Company, will serve as the commercial arm of NYS.
• Public Service Cabinet Secretary Geoffrey Ruku announced the plan, stating its goal is to enhance employment, revenue generation, and sustainability for the Service.
• This move aligns with President William Ruto's directives and the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA), supporting various sectors like affordable housing and vehicle repair.
