Worse Than Murder - Kenyan Magistrate in NYS Corruption Case

After spending a week behind bars, more than 40 suspects accused of swindling Kenyans out of U.S.$4,6 million through the National Youth Service walked into a Nairobi courtroom hoping to be granted bail, writes Sam Kiplagat in the Daily Nation. But it was not to be, because Chief Magistrate Douglas Ogoti denied them bail, telling them they would stay in prison until the cases against them were concluded.

The suspects implicated in the National Youth Service theft of Sh468 million.
