The Wiper party has demanded that all persons implicated in the NYS scam should appear before the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) for grilling.

Various persons have been mentioned in the scam, including Deputy President William Ruto's personal assistant Farouk Kibet, aide senator Kipchumba Murkomen and Leader of Majority Aden Duale.

Secretary general Hassan Omar claims the government plots to cover-up those who are yet to be summoned by the Nicholas Gumbo-led Committee.

"It is not clear why, for instance, those who were adversely mentioned by Ms. Anne Waiguru when she appeared before the Public Accounts Committee, have not been compelled to appear before the committee and/or other relevant public watchdog bodies to shed light on the National Youth Service saga. This failure to summon the duo points to an apparent connivance and/or cover-up meant to keep the lid on the scandal that has seen the loss of more than Kshs.791 million of public funds,'' said Omar.

He also claimed investigations into the scam are deliberately being dragged for undisclosed reasons.

"Quite telling, too, is the fact that investigations into the scam appear to be, in a deliberate way, dragging on an on, with no end in sight. Wiper Democratic Movement-Kenya demands those adversely mentioned, plus others also who hold vital information on the scam, be summoned to appear before the relevant bodies to say what they know about this great con on the Kenyan taxpayer.''

He wondered how Josephine Kabura, the biggest beneficiary of the Sh1.8 scam was allowed to engage in such a scandal.

"Where was the Governor of the Central Bank at the time? Where was the Central Bank Supervisory unit at the time? What action did it take to stop such fraud?" wondered the Mombasa senator.

He cited Family Bank, and wondered why it was 'allowed' to 'flout' banking rules.

"Additionally, why was Family Bank allowed to flout banking laws? Amounts of more than Kshs.1 million are not allowed to be transacted in cash; why was Kabura an exception? Kenyans need urgent answers on these and other issues!"

Omar addressed the press after a Wiper party National Executive Council meeting in Nairobi, Tuesday.
