NYS sends 8,000 recruits home after looting spree

More than 8,000 National Youth Service (NYS) recruits have been sent home after their passing-out parade was delayed. The passing-out parade has been delayed by five months for lack of funds to meet the cost of the elaborate ceremony. Reliable sources within Gilgil NYS Training Institute told The Standard that the recruits, who have been at the camp for 11 months, were sent home on Thursday to await further communication. "There is no day recruits are allowed to go home in the middle of the course. Even us we went through the same training and it's the posting station that gives such a permission, not the college," said the source. The source said trainees were being served black tea in the morning after powder milk imported from China during former Devolution Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru's tenure was suspended.

"The training institute is completely rotten and Kenyans should be told the truth. Those young boys and girls are suffering in the camps and surviving under harsh conditions," he revealed. The recruits have been undergoing paramilitary training for the past 11 months. The training normally takes six months.

They joined in May last year and the passing-out was supposed to be held in October, according to a senior officer who spoke in confidence. "The passing-out ceremony has been delayed. This group has overstayed and we should be training another group now but that is not possible.

 We anticipate that the graduation will delay for a little longer," said the senior officer. Multiple sources at the Gilgil institute said there was no money to buy uniforms, spades and berets for the passing-out ceremony. The sources said some recruits have since deserted the camp with about 8,700 still waiting to graduate. The President normally graces the occasion. "It has taken too long, forcing some parents to come for their children. 

Life here is unbearable," a recruit claimed. The officer said the delay could be a strategic move by the Executive to avoid bad publicity in presiding over the graduation in an institution that has been marred with massive graft, with Sh791 million stolen.

NJOKI CHEGE on Shisha girls

Twenty years ago, women used to cook like their mothers. Today, they smoke like their fathers. There are fewer things more disgusting than a woman who smokes. And I’m not talking about cigarettes. My beef is with women who smoke shisha. Shisha girls are undesirable, rough and have completely lost respect for themselves. There are two types of shisha girls: the eastlando and the so-called upmarket ones. The eastlando types use cheap perfumes costing Sh350 and buy high heels from Toi Market and Bus Station. They text random men on Fridays “Leo turn up iko wapi, baby?” because they need a man to buy them a pot of shisha. They are happy to go to Club Cubano but will never forget you if you upgrade them to Mojos. They wear their plastic weaves long and coarse, the ones you comb until the scalp protests. The polish on their nails — mostly blue — is chipped and their lipstick ghetto; the ones bought at Moi Avenue for Sh200. Their dreadlocks — if they happen to have them...

There is no regret in Obedience

It’s a guarantee your life will never be the same again when you obey God. God is our CREATOR and our DIRECTOR meaning he knows the best way for our lives since he loves us, our role is to simply OBEY Him. Obedience is everything when we are relating to God. Obedience is the KEY ingredient in the kingdom of God. God is always ready to manifest himself in our lives when we obey Him and his word(John 14:23 Jesus Replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.” Like 5:5 Simon Peter an experienced fisherman with a fishing business had toiled the whole night without any catch of fish and he was frustrated and tired and he was washing his nets UNTIL Jesus told him to Launch out into the deep again. Peter had a CHOICE to say YES or NO but he choose to OBEY and he said: “Nevertheless AT THY WORD I WILL LET DOWN THE NET”. The moment he chooses to obey instead of Questioning, Analyzing and trying ...
