Suspects in the National Youth Service (NYS) scandal will spend at least six days in remand as they await the court’s verdict on whether they will be released on bail.

Nairobi magistrate Douglas Ogoti, after hearing arguments by prosecution and defence teams up to 1.50am yesterday, said he needed at least three days to return a verdict.
