The new round of multi-million shilling National Youth Service (NYS) corruption cases could have been dealt a blow after sensational claims by a suspect that the lead investigator was a partner in the business deals he was investigating.

The suspect, a member of the Naivasha-based Ngirita family that is at the centre of what has come to be called 'NYS II' graft wave probe, claimed the lead investigator, Mike Julius Kingoo Muia, was their partner in a company that traded with NYS.
