Close to half the money allocated by the Government to the Sports Ministry to cater for the IAAF Under-18 World Youth Championship in Nairobi last year went missing.

More than 80 companies are said to have received money from the Ministry, according to a report tabled in the National Assembly by Leader of Majority Aden Duale.
