The Kenyan legislature has passed an interesting motion.

They want to force all graduates from public universities and middle level colleges to give a 2 year compulsory community service at minimum allowances after graduation…

Something about this idea evokes images of forced labor and collectivism. Something is not quite right here.

However, the motion, by Kilome MP Mutinda Mutiso was approved by the House without any MPs contributions due to lack of members who showed interest.

The concept is not really new (remember the seventies, remember nyayo buses e.g.), but I doubt that government will implement it, and draft the required bill to make such a national service law again.
