Ex-PS, 22 others acquitted in Sh47 million NYS theft case
A three-judge bench overturned the High Court’s decision to reinstate the criminal trial and endorsed a magistrate’s ruling that acquitted them in March 2018.
The Court of Appeal in Nairobi has upheld the acquittal of 23 people, including former Devolution PS Peter Oganga Mangiti, implicated in the multi-million-shilling corruption scandal at the National Youth Service (NYS) 10 years ago.
In the highly publicised case, Mr Mangiti and his co-accused had been charged with conspiring to steal Sh47.6 million from the NYS through irregular purchase of training materials for the service personnel in 2015.
