The State Department for Correctional Services is on the spot over irregular payments of nearly Sh1 billion to suppliers who did not make any deliveries to the Kenya Prisons, rekindling the National Youth Service type rip-off.

A fresh audit shows that the department paid out Sh975.7 million in respect of pending bills on behalf of various prison stations.
