Investigations into the attempted fraud at the National Youth Service (NYS) moved up a gear with cyber-crime detectives said to have zeroed in on the IP (Internet Protocol) address of the computer used in the transaction.
The Banking Fraud Investigations Unit (BFIU) traced the processing of tenders for road construction and supply of building materials worth Sh122.2 million to the principal secretary in the Devolution ministry, and cleared it as sound. Detectives are now focusing on Sh695.4 million in the second transaction.
