Key suspect Kabura put on her own defence in Sh791 million NYS case
Josephine Kabura at the Milimani Law Court in Nairobi on December 3, 2019 during the hearing of the case where she was facing charges alongside businessman Benson Gethi Muchemi, former National Youth Service Director Dr Nelson Githinji and others over the National Youth Service financial scam.
Ms Waiguru, the chairperson of the Council of Governors, was at the time the Devolution Cabinet Secretary when the scandal happened.
Ms Waiguru’s failure to testify led to the collapse of the case involving her former PS Mangiti, former NYS Director-General Nelson Githinji and businessman Ben Gethi.
As former Devolution Principal Secretary Peter Mangiti walked free in the Sh791 million National Youth Service (NYS) case, key suspect Ms Josphine Kabura has been put on her defence with the court citing glaring omissions and gaping holes in in the case.
In a detailed ruling on the no case to answer, Milimani Law Courts Magistrate Wendy Micheni took issue with the failure by star witness, Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru, to testify in the case.
