Of the Sh8.8 billion that was paid to suppliers by the National Youth Service (NYS) in the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 financial years, investigators have so far flagged Sh900 million worth of questionable pay-outs.

The vouchers were submitted to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) for analysis, and narrowed down to Sh468.9 million, being fraudulent payments.
