How State 'paid' ghost volunteers Sh180m

The Kenya Future Leaders Programme (KFLP), launched by President Uhuru Kenyatta a year ago, may have led to the loss of Sh180 million, it has emerged.

Under the programme, volunteers were to be deployed to select counties to foster cohesion and teach in primary schools. But in a rather bizzare turn of events, the Government could have lost about Sh180 million in payments for ghost volunteers and allocations to families that never hosted volunteers.
