Kalonzo said the alleged scandal could sink the Jubilee administration if appropriate and stern action is not taken against those involved.

According to the former Vice President, Kenyans have lost patience in President Uhuru Kenyatta's administration on matters of corruption.

In an interview with a local daily on Monday, Kalonzo said the fresh NYS scandal could scuttle President Kenyatta's development plans even as he serves his last term.

He said the Jubilee administration has not shown any commitment to fight corrupt government officials who he claimed are looting taxpayers' coffers.

The Wiper leader said there are so many graft scandals that have never been investigated and the perpetrators taken to court under Jubilee government's watch.

"President Uhuru Kenyatta must act tough and save the country's taxpayers coffers from being looted by selfish and greedy officials," Kalonzo said.

Kalonzo blamed the government's investigative and prosecuting agencies for sleeping on the job.

He said there is daring evidence that taxpayers' money is being looted but no one has been arraigned in court or jailed for the offense.

"I think we must seriously review some of the institution's responsible with investigating and prosecuting economic crimes," he said.

Kalonzo said it is ironical that Kenyans are grappling with harsh economic characterized by high unemployment rates yet some selfish government officials are looting public coffers.

The former Vice President asked Kenyans to be vocal and demand an end to corruption.

"We as Kenyans can play our small roles and help eradicate those corruption monster that is 'eating' our country," he added.

Kenyans and politicians have expressed anger over the alleged Sh9 billion NYS scandal.

Pressure is now mounting on investigating agencies to conduct a speedy probe and arraign suspects in court.

Last week, Public Service PS Lilian Omollo and NYS director General Richard Ndambiri alongside other senior government officials were forced to step aside to pave way for an investigation into the scandal.

On Monday, some of the officials recorded statements at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations.

This is not the first time corruption scandal is rocking NYS.

In 2015, Sh791 million was reported to have been stolen at the agency.

The scandal saw the then Devolution CS Anne Waiguru resign and several government officials charged in court.
