Also under the spotlight are Mr Richard Ndubai, the Director-General of NYS who replaced Dr Nelson Githinji, NYS Director of Finance Wellington Lubila, and Head of Supply Simon Kanyi. In one of those headache-inducing government procedures, when NYS was moved to the Ministry of Youth, its budget remained in the original line ministry, Devolution. Devolution could not request Treasury to release money to suppliers without authorisation by the accounting officer for Youth, Ms Omollo. DEVOLUTION MINISTRYThe NYS was one of the state departments under the Devolution ministry before it was transferred to the newly created ministry of Public Service, Gender and Youth Affairs in 2015. The NYS had been allocated Sh25 billion in the 2014/15 financial year, compared to Sh6 billion in the previous year.
