By RUSHDIE OUDIAMore by this AuthorBy DONNA ATOLAMore by this AuthorAssets worth Sh1.8 billion have so far been recovered from National Youth Service (NYS) corruption cases. Assets Recovery Agency Director Muthoni Kimani on Thursday said that Sh1.3 billion had been recovered from the first NYS scandal and Sh500 million from the subsequent one. Mrs Kimani explained that the recovery process is complex, especially when dealing with individuals who have stashed assets in other countries. Addressing an anti-corruption training workshop at Tom Mboya Labor College in Kisumu, Mrs Kimani observed that culprits have advisers who help them conceal their assets, hence complicating the recovery process. The director added that if the fight against corruption is to succeed, the agencies must foster autonomy, integrity and commitment.
