Several Kenyan youths face disqualification from the ongoing recruitment drive for the state youth agency due to their body tattoos. Despite meeting academic qualifications and passing the physical fitness test for the National Youth Service (NYS), they found themselves ineligible due to their body art.
Expressing dismay, the disqualified youths questioned the rationale behind being excluded from the recruitment solely based on their tattoos, urging authorities to reconsider their decision.
While authorities have yet to provide a clear explanation for the exclusion, they have pledged to release a statement addressing the matter at the conclusion of the recruitment exercise, according to local media reports.
The nationwide NYS recruitment, which commenced on Monday, aims to enlist a minimum of 15,000 recruits. Stay tuned for further updates on this development. #KenyaYouthRecruitment #NYSInclusion
