Before independence, NYS used to be a compulsory stage of youths transition, but things have changed with time.
Today NYS is more of a volunteering service. Anyone working with National Youth Service the least he or she can expect is a payment.
Last year 2017 August, their salaries were increased from sh.700 to sh.2100 per month. Marking a 300% for the service men and women.
