Opposition leaders from Gusii region have accused the Government of hoodwinking youths by enrolling them into the National Youth Service (NYS) projects in constituencies.

Kisii Deputy Governor Joash Maangi and Kitutu Masaba MP Timothy Bosire said the plan has backfired with the government under immense pressure to deliver decent jobs.
