NYS officers cry foul over unpaid allowances

Over 40 junior officers in the National Youth Service (NYS) band have accused their bosses of not paying their allowance's after performing in Nyeri on Madaraka Day.

The officers, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of victimisation, complained their allowances had been withheld by their seniors under unclear circumstances. The 45 officers of the ranks of 'private' and 'inspector' said the allowances owed to them totaled over Sh800,000.
