NAIROBI, KENYA: A Senate committee will review a Bill that seeks to make sure the thousands of graduates from the National Youth Service (NYS) are given priority in the next round of recruitment of police officers, game wardens, soldiers and spies.

The chairman of the Senate Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, Stewart Madzayo (Kilifi), Wednesday told The Standard that the National Youth Service (Amendment) Bill 2014 was before his committee and the team would work on it next week, just seven days before Senate resumes.
