Also familiarisation with departmental procedures and regulations including the County government Act and Enforcement Act.
The Chief Officer Devolved Units, Yussuf Didow reiterated on the need to observe the laid down regulations at the college.
Didow urged the recruits to take the training with the seriousness it deserves.
“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment. It is the foundation of success" he said.
The commanding officer NYS Naivasha campus Charles Kamiru welcomed the team and introduced the programme instructors.
