Youth Cabinet Secretary Sicily Kariuki sought the President's intervention last month to disband the Youth Enterprise Development Fund (YEDF) over the Sh180 million scandal but no action was taken.

The CS told the National Assembly Public Investment Committee that she decided to act to ensure that the ongoing investigation into the fraudulent payment of Sh180 million to Quorandum Limited, a consultancy firm hired to design a comprehensive ICT strategy and enterprise resource planning design, was not interfered with.
