President Uhuru Kenyatta has asked the National Land Commission (NLC) to regularise the status of all land belonging to the Kenya Scouts Association (KSA) and hand it back before the year ends.
The President issued the directive on Saturday, when he presided over this year’s KSA Patron’s Day and presented awards to members for their contributions to the scouts movement and the country.
The President said the Public Service, Youth and Gender Affairs ministry will work with the association to convert the land, where possible, into fully operational centres for scouting programmes.
Mr Kenyatta pointed out that being a scout is supposed to be an added advantage when one is seeking employment, especially in the disciplined forces and in public service.
