Kenya's Public Service Commission started grilling over 13,000 shortlisted grads for 7,000 government internship slots that pay actual money for a year. The whole thing kicked off with Paul Famba running the show across 13 regional spots, and they're wrapping interviews by week's end before shipping winners off to ministries and agencies next month.
Out of nearly 36,000 people who threw their hat in the ring, the chosen ones got SMS notifications and have to drag their original certs and transcripts to in-person sessions. Remote candidates can do phone interviews if they're stuck in the middle of nowhere.
The program exists to give fresh graduates real work experience in government operations while supposedly tackling youth unemployment. Officials keep hammering home that nobody should pay anything or trust sketchy middlemen promising to grease the wheels.
