John Kago, a suspect in the National Youth Service scandal, before the National Assembly's Public Accounts Committee in Nairobi on October 27, 2016. PHOTO | JEFF ANGOTEMPs were on Thursday baffled at how a driver received more than Sh346 million, part of the funds looted from the National Youth Service (NYS), but still retained his job. According to a special audit by the Auditor-General, Mr Kago received Sh346 million, almost half the Sh791 million looted from the NYS, from key suspects Josephine Kabura and Ben Gethi. However, Mr Kago stood his ground and accused a detective who gave the information showing the money was deposited into his accounts at Family Bank and Kenya Commercial Bank, of fabrication. Mr Kago said he had known Ms Kabura, whose three firms received Sh791 million to build a 3.5km road in Kibera, Nairobi, for one-and-a half-years.
