He emphasized that the NYS was established to aid in nation-building and enhance technical skills. It was not created to form a military force.

Eugene Wamalwa also criticized the decision. He cited the deaths of many youths in recent protests. He expressed worries about arming NYS recruits. The opposition leaders are against the new university funding model as well. They argue that it has led to increased fees.

Their actions handle the needs of the youth in Kenya. Their opposition to these government decisions underscores their focus on nation-building.

They also focus on social welfare. They advocate for policies that benefit all citizens. They prioritize peaceful coexistence.
