Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Keriako Tobiko has recommended the immediate prosecution of Devolution Principal Secretary Peter Mangiti and the National Youth Service (NYS) director Nelson Githinji.
This is over the alleged fraudulent IFMIS transactions that led to a loss of Sh791 million at the NYS.
In a statement to the media on Monday, the DPP said that Mangiti and Githinji plus 26 other officials of the NYS are the main suspects in the alleged loss of Sh791 Million.
The DPP at the same time cleared Devolution Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru over the alleged loss of the Sh791 Million at the ministry.
Tobiko in the statement signed by Senior Assistant Director of Public Communication Beatrice Omari said that the evidence and investigations provided by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) do not link Waiguru to the loss of the funds.
Tobiko said that 26 other individuals who conspired in the loss of the Sh791 Million will also face charges.
“There is enough evidence that warrants trial of the suspects over the alleged loss of Sh791 Million at the NYS,” said the DPP in the statement.
Furthermore, the DPP has ordered the EACC to start recovery of the stolen funds and assets from the suspects linked to the loss of the funds.
There have been allegations of massive corruption at the Devolution Ministry with a section of leaders calling for the sacking of CS Anne Waiguru.
However a section of leaders allied to Jubilee including Gatundu South lawmaker Moses Kuria have defended Waiguru against the allegations.
On Wednesday last week, Waiguru was grilled for close to seven hours by the EACC over the alleged loss of 791 Million at her ministry.
