President Uhuru Kenyatta on Monday at State House, Mombasa, assented to seven Bills including the National Youth Service Bill 2018. The National Youth Service Act 2018 overhauls the National Youth Service Act, Cap. The move is aimed at ensuring the NYS is self-sustaining by enabling it to generate funds for its own use and operations. Other Bills signed into law are the Building Surveyors Bill 2017, the Health Laws (Amendment) Bill 2018, the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill 2018, the Sacco Societies (Amendment) Bill 2018 and the Capital Markets (Amendment) Bill 2018. President Uhuru also signed a vellum copy of the County Allocation of Revenue (Amendment) Bill 2018 passed by both the Senate and the National Assembly.
