The Jubilee administration has warned opposition politicians against politicizing the National Youth Service (NYS) economic empowerment program saying it is not a campaign tool.

The Public Service and Gender Affairs Cabinet Secretary Sicily Kariuki regretted that some Opposition leaders were on a propaganda-spree to discredit the program that is aimed at changing the lives of over 300,000 youth in 290 constituencies across the country.
