Lawmakers probing the NYS mega theft have clashed over recommendations indicting influential figures in the Jubilee administration. On Wednesday, at a Mombasa hotel, the watchdog parliamentary committee planned to adopt recommendations about the Sh1.8 billion National Youth Service heist. Committee sources have told the Star, however, that members differed sharply over an alleged plot to dilute the content and protect important people. This forced the 27-member National Assembly Public Accounts Committee to postpone the meeting to next Tuesday to allow for consensus-building. Last year, someMPs claimed a close senior relative of a top leader in the executive and a commercial bank gave money to legislators to dilute the NYS probe report.
