Police have revealed that they froze the bank accounts of 13 firms said to have received Sh121 million from the National Youth Service (NYS) following allegations of fraud.

The firms operated three accounts - two at Consolidated Bank and a third one at Barclays Bank of Kenya - that were frozen on April 26 following a court order.
