NAIROBI: Damning revelations on the dubious past of a top National Youth Service (NYS) officer relied on by former Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru to absolve herself from blame in the multi-million scam have emerged.

Adan Gedow Harakhe, the man who claims to have assisted Waiguru to “whistle-blow” the scam has a history of “non-compliance, misappropriation, smuggling, gross misconduct and non-performance” according to a fresh internal probe obtained by The Standard on Sunday.
