Civil servants were caught stealing Sh2.45 billion in hard cash in the year to June, in what was only a small portion of the amount that the anti-graft agency says is lost from public coffers annually.

The Public Service Commission (PSC) said in a report that theft of money surged from Sh643.6 million captured a year earlier, representing a 280.7 percent increase.
