Parliament has slashed the annual budgetary allocation to the National Youth Service (NYS) by Sh8.25 billion, dealing yet another blow to the besieged State agency that is embroiled in a mega theft scandal.

The NYS will now get Sh10.11 billion in the next financial year starting July, down from Sh18.36 billion that had been due to them in the Treasury allocation that was tabled by Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich last month.
