The Ministry of Youth Development and Empowerment has suspended the use of the Central Management System (CMS) of the National Service Authority (NSA) with immediate effect.
This decision follows emerging concerns surrounding the digital infrastructure currently in use at the NSA.
A statement issued by the Ministry on Thursday said the move was based on a directive from the Office of the President.
“This decisive step has been taken in the national interest to allow for a comprehensive technical and forensic review of the platform,” the statement read.
The Ministry assured the public, especially National Service personnel and stakeholders, that measures were underway to ensure the continued smooth operation of the Authority.
“Alternative systems and verification procedures are being reviewed to maintain smooth and transparent service delivery,” the statement added.
The Ministry urged all National Service personnel and the public to remain calm and cooperate with the relevant institutions as they take the necessary steps to safeguard the integrity of the NSA.
“Further updates will be communicated in due course,” it concluded.
