Kenya's anti-corruption court extended an injunction blocking Sh6.2 billion ($48 million) in payments to firms accused of submitting fake invoices for undelivered goods to the National Youth Service. The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission uncovered 277 purchase orders and over 1,500 invoices, with businessman Ben Gethi Wangui and associates at the center—echoing his role in the 2015 NYS scandal. Justice Margaret Muigai prolonged the freeze until February 2, 2026, amid a reported dispute from the Director of Public Prosecutions over evidence strength, as this marks the third major scandal plaguing the youth training program.
