Kenyan taxpayers lost Sh1.9 billion in the National Youth Service (NYS) scandal, Auditor-General Edward Ouko says in a new report that identifies businesswoman Josephine Kabura as the principal beneficiary of the theft.

The report says Ms Kabura received Sh1.3 billion on account of 11 companies that did business with the NYS and was to receive part of the fraudulent payment of Sh675.4 million that flopped.
