Kenyans have been angered by the fact that three members of one family managed to siphon more than 400 million meant for the NYS to enrich themselves at the expense of Kenyan youths who ended up loosing jobs.
The system works reasonably well when those who pay taxes feel that there is a good chance that they will see a future payoff, such as improvements in the country’s infrastructure, better schools and a better-trained and healthier workforce.
However , the rot in Kenya’s public sector has left a majority of Kenyans angry as much of the money meant to fund projects and create employment for the youths ends up in waste or in peoples pockets.
The ongoing NYS saga where billions of taxpayers money was lost and in addition youths lost jobs is a case that Kenyan’s will never forget.
In the event that the suit by Assets Recovery Agency (ARA) succeeds, Phylis Njeri Ngirita, Lucy Wambui Ngirita and Jeremiah Gichina Ngirita will forfeit to the State several properties. They include pieces of land and vehicles allegedly bought using proceeds of crime and money laundering.
But that is not all, Kenyans are also demanding the assets and recovery team to take back the weave won by the lady also confiscated and sold to recover the money.

We also need that weave back ASAP— mwangi wanjiru (@kriswanjiru) March 18, 2019
Through lawyer Peter Ngumi, the agency submitted that the three family members could not explain their sudden accumulation of wealth, leaving the agency to believe that the properties were acquired fraudulently using money stolen from NYS.
The three are among 37 individuals facing various charges in the NYS theft scandal.
Why cant Kenyans give her peace and let her go to jail in her weave? After all its all she will have to remember
