A Nairobi magistrate’s court on Monday stepped up the investigations into the looting at National Youth Service (NYS) when it ordered banks accounts believed to keeping proceeds of the theft frozen for six months.

Asset Recovery Agency (ARA) investigating officer Frederick Musyoki sought the orders reckoning that the suspects could move the monies and frustrate their efforts to recover the stolen funds.
