Sh130 Million Recovered from NYS 'Disappears'

One suspect linked to the loss of Millions at the National Youth Service (NYS) has caused a buzz after claiming that Sh130 Million recovered from her colleagues, mysteriously 'disappeared'.

Jane Wangechi, a suspended supply chain management assistant at NYS, alleged that the money was collected from two female suppliers whose homes were raided by police officers in July last year.

According to Wangechi, the huge sum of money was not recorded by the officers prompting concerns over its whereabouts.

The NYS staff further claimed that there were more details concerning the NYS scandal besides what was publicised.

“When searches were conducted on the premises of two lady suppliers, a total of Sh130 Million was collected by the police. One lady was found with Sh80 Million, while the other one was found with Sh50 Million,” said Wangeci as quoted by the Standard.

However, Head of Banking Fraud Joseph Mugwanja, refuted the claims saying he was not aware of such an issue, but would be willing to investigate the matter.

“I am not aware. If indeed that is true, let her come to my office or go anywhere and lodge a complaint. Just refer her to my office and even give her my number,” Mugwanja said.

This comes after similar raids were conducted in December in homes of 12 more suspects including that of former Devolution Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru.
