The previous boards had been tainted with theft scandals, particularly Sh180 million allegedly transferred in two tranches of Sh115 million and Sh65 million to a company identified as Quorandum Limited.
Most of the Sh180 million stolen from the youth fund was used to purchase luxury homes, pay debts and line the pockets of powerful individual’s including law firms and companies.
In June 2016, the government gazetted eight board members to the YEDF board to serve for three years with effect from May 21 that year.
They were Hellen Omiti Machora, Caroline Amondi Oloo, James Kiiru, Julie Waweru, Suleiman Abdi Noor Ali, Faith Kibet, Juliet Nyangai and Benson Mutemi. Other board members, who were sacked included Sella Bogonko, Paul Gathura Ng’ang’a, Sabra Omar Hussein, Jane Mutinda, Mike Wamae, Clement Ayungo and Nicholas Mwaniki.
