More details are emerging on the blatant disregard to laid down procurement and staffing regulations as well as power play at the National Youth Service (NYS) which is under investigation for the loss of Sh791 million.

Documents in our possession reveal staffing irregularities, disregard for procurement processes, sabotage and conspiracy to mislead bosses among other malpractices.
