Big three who owe Kenyans an explanation

On June 5, 2015, Devolution Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru wrote a letter to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations. Her bone of contention was a series of suspicious payments from the National Youth Service (NYS) to an array of suppliers of goods and services.

By this time, her letter was just but a mere confirmation of fears already in the public domain of massive loot at the institution. In a span of a few months – between December 1, 2014 and April 1, 2015 – hundreds of millions of public monies allocated to NYS could not be accounted for. Worse still, plans were underway for the theft of another Sh800 million from an institution that held so much promise in President Uhuru Kenyatta’s solution to youth unemployment.
