Siphoning of part of the Sh3.5 billion the government allocated for youth development plans started barely two days after the money was allocated to the Ministry of Devolution and Planning, a prosecution witness said Tuesday.

Nixon Abura, a finance officer at the ministry, said he noticed “faster absorption of the funds” and alerted deputy director-general of the National Youth Service (NYS) Adan Harake who requested him to execute an accounts analysis.
