Revealed: How NYS Paid Sh100,000 for Each Piece of Towel and Sh1 Million for One Car Tyre
Shocking details of how billion of shillings disappeared from the National Youth Service (NYS) in the fresh Sh9 billion scandal have been revealed.
People Daily reports that suppliers walked away with million of shillings in exaggerated prices for items supplied to the youth agency.
One of the firm under investigation was found to have supplied 200 pieces of towels, pocketing Sh100,000 for each piece. This is a rather ridiculous price considering that one piece in the local market could go for about Sh1,500 in the upwards.
Statements recorded with the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) on Wednesday further revealed that another firm was paid Sh100 million for supplying 100 car tyres. This translates to each tyre being secured at around Sh1 Million.
Another firm that erected tents for the NYS personnel also said it was paid Sh180 million in two rounds of Sh90 million each.
Additionally, another firm that delivered spare parts of grading machines was paid Sh200 million, while another company that supplied mosquito nets took home Sh100 million.
In the looting spree that reportedly lasted for three months, another firm banked Sh40 million for supplying 3,000 pieces of blankets, translating to Sh13,000 per piece.
Further details obtained by the detectives revealed that several other nonexistent firms were paid millions for supplying nothing while others received exorbitant amounts for supplying a few products.
One of the suspects questioned by detectives said a friend who works at NYS lured him into opening a bank account where Sh60 million was wired into, without any prior explanation for service delivery.
Other reports indicate that some officials withdrew as much as Sh200 million over the counter from a local bank, an act which contravenes Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) restrictions.

You remind me of a Guy here in Kenya: This guy wanted Financial help from some US Donors and What he SIMPLY did was to Present (to the Donors) his Kenya SHILLINGS Budget in DOLLARS (same Figures but with Dollar Signs). It was so Scary and Embarassing (to say the Least) and the Would-be Donors vanished into Thin Air. Phew!!!!! man.

Wiping out corruption is a moral duty for all Kenyans. The chief pilot to help set up guidelines for eliminating this national shame is no one but Uhuru.
Uhuru, we are ready to eliminate this sad chapter of our Kenya history. Begin with the Secretary of the Interior. This ministry is headed by very corrupt members of the police force. If the police did their job well in conjunction with the members of the judiciary, Kenya will see the big cats behind bars.
Next, go to the IEBC. As long as this joint continues to clear people with a past full of skeletons to run for a public elective office, Kenya will never move forward.
People with "questionable wealth" should be audited and their property auctioned and the money returned to our treasury.
Encourage wealthy people to set up businesses and companies that will employ the millions of the youth without jobs.
Everybody should be able to play their part in order to end this sad chapter in our nation known as "CORRUPTION."
Let us remember and honor our past leaders who set up "The Organization of African Unity" in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia today on May 25, 1963. Let us make every African country better than it was when it was occupied by foreign powers from Europe.

This is pure madness. The government is to blame for allowing this level of corruption to thrive everywhere in Kenya. When are the Kenyans going say enough is enough. Corrupted to the core. Corruption has became a national security issue in Kenya and should be addressed as such. We should demand an entirely special court system to handle these cases swiftly. No more delays. Corruption has infected the entire country. We are sending an SOS to the few good people remaining in the country to deal with this disease right away.
