The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) participated in the 88th Passing Out Parade for National Youth Service (NYS) recruits held at the NYS Paramilitary Training College in Gilgil, Nakuru County.
The event, which celebrated the successful completion of rigorous training by 14,602 servicemen and women, was officiated by His Excellency Dr. William Samoei Ruto, PhD, C.G.H., President of the Republic of Kenya and Commander-in-Chief of the Defence Forces.
Dr. Erustus Kanga, Director General of KWS, joined fellow Service Commanders, parents, and esteemed guests in honoring the new graduates. During his address, President Ruto commended KWS for its dedication to fulfilling a presidential directive that saw 56% of the newly enlisted rangers recruited from NYS graduates. This move highlights the government’s commitment to empowering youth and integrating their skills into national service.
The successful graduation of these young men and women marks a significant milestone in their journey of serving the nation. Their training, which spanned six months, has equipped them with the resilience and dedication required to contribute effectively to the countryโs security and development.
The presence of KWS at the parade underscores the organization’s ongoing commitment to nurturing the next generation of national service members, ensuring they are well-prepared to protect Kenya’s natural heritage and contribute to the nation’s broader goals.
