NAIROBI: The anti-graft agency has shifted blame to CID following public backlash on the shambolic probe into the Sh791 million NYS scandal.

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) Chairman Philip Kinisu explained that the commission and the CID were simultaneously investigating different aspects of the scandal, but did not share information.
