The National Youth Service (NYS) spent Sh533 million on construction of Karen and Ngong Road furniture markets that only exist on paper, Auditor-General Edward Ouko has revealed.

Construction of the markets has stalled for two years since the award of the contracts, with the Ngong Road furniture market beset by challenges of a legal claim on the land, leading to a potential loss of Sh533 million that was incurred in procurement of materials.
