Kenya’s public prosecutor said yesterday that his office will target banks and their staff for their involvement in the handling of funds lost from the National Youth Service.

Kenya has been hit by a new spate of scandals involving bogus tenders and suppliers that allegedly resulted in the theft of hundreds of millions of shillings by state officials from several Government bodies.
