NYS Storekeeper Questioned over the Source of His Sh200 Million Wealth, Three Luxury Cars
A National Youth Service (NYS) storekeeper was on Monday put to task to explain how he acquired three luxury vehicles as well as property worth over Sh200 million in Ruiru Kiambu County.
David Mbogo Muthee, who has worked at NYS for 16 years, appeared before anti-corruption Magistrate Eunice Kagure as a witness in the Sh226.9 million NYS scam case.
Mbogo told the court that he acquired the property as well as a Lexus, Range Rover, and Toyota Prado through his genuine business.
He was testifying in a case in which former Youth Affairs Principal Secretary Lilian Omollo and 30 others have been charged with corruption charges relating to the NYS scandal.
During a cross-examination by the defense counsel, Mbogo denied ever coming into contact with local purchase orders (LPOs) or any account documents while working as a storekeeper at NYS.
He told the magistrate that on May 23rd, 2018 he received a call from one Mula of DCI headquarters to record a statement in respect of an LPO book series 2581851 to 2581900.
Mbogo also said that on April 5th, 2016 Evans Kundu from NYS called him and requested that when he travels to Nairobi to visit his family, he could pass by the college accountant's office to pick up a document for him.
"On April 6th, 2016, I passed by Kagiri's office who confirmed to me that he had been requested by Kundu for an LPO and that the commandant had authorized for the issuance of the same," Mbogo said.
He divulged that Kagiri recorded the issuance of the said LPO in the counterfoil receipt book register (CRB) and indicated who was to pick it.
"Upon arrival at the NYS headquarters I met Mr. Kundu in his office where I gave him the book which was sealed by Kagiri and proceeded to see my family," said Mbogo.
Other suspects in the case include businesswoman Anne Ngirita, her two sisters, and former NYS employees.

Another NYS thief! Freeze the money if he can not account how he made the money.
I wipe rear ends in America for 16 hours per day and there is no way I will ever own a Chevy let alone a Lexus and or Range Rover. I am taking the next thing smoking out of DFW airport headed home to be a storekeeper.
@MarkOnyango, I don't think that is true given how industrious you're. Most likely, there are other things more important in your life than a Lexus and a Range Rover. We all know this fat toad did not sweat for his money like you do. The important thing is that when you finally buy your Range Rover, no one will ever put your butt in a hot seat demanding to know how you got your money because- your money is blessed.
@Wawororo, thanks bro.
Comrade MakOnyango,
Bottom line is non of your family belong to the ELITE, so the chances of you becoming like this man are near zero not unless you engage in CORRUPTION.
@Kora Kanini, there is no way on God's green earth I can or will ever be corrupt. I have seen wazungus put their parents in nursing ili wakule mali yao and the parents dies of heartbreaks. Ni heri nife maskini.
MacOnyango you are the real bottom up. Every successful being started somewhere. U can afford crypto
Time period when the assets were bought tells it all.
Oh, my God, they steal mercilessly!!
He was used as a corrupconduit conduit by who is who but decided to pocket some of the loot. They stole, they give it to him for safekeeping and he pocketed some of it.
Most likely he was used to order items fake receipts from fake LTD companies without names were issued and money transfered . being part of the mafia gang he was part of the monetary receivership. it started with golden berg and will not stop in years to come .Waiguru still walks tall
I don't UNDERSTAND why folks get all worked up when we talk about CORRUPTION in KENYA.
For one most of us know that 99.9% of all KENYAN POLITICIANS are CORRUPT.
From the head honcho all the way down.
Scandals on top of scandals.
While most of them are known publicly, nothing ever happens to them because the whole UHURU government is corrupt.
Only the small fish gets fried.
Jubilee administration made a billion sound like a hundred. Shetani ashindwe
Comrade Go crypto,
At this pace ,the KSH will have to be devalued to sustain the debt, or CHINESE will be acquiring whatever collateral the government gave.
Mr @MarkOnyango be very careful wiping those Female real ends they might accuse of you of sex assault while you were just doing your job.
