Suspects in the Sh230 million National Youth Service (NYS) scandal have accused the Director of Public Prosecutions of seeking to sneak in evidence.

The 37 suspects, including former Youth and Gender PS Lillian Omollo and former NYS boss Richard Ndubai, argued that the prosecution wants the court to help it after realising it had weak evidence that cannot sustain the trial.
