A police officer attached to Jogoo Police Station has been arrested by detectives regarding Sh10.5 billion lost in the National Youth Service (NYS) scandal.
The officer, Corporal Caroline Atieno Mango has been accused by the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) for deliberately failing to remit taxes linked to her four companies.
According to the information gathered by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) detectives, the four companies Maanti Logistics, Ajol General Enterprises, Carrotexx Enterprise and Jupecar Garments dealt with general supply of office equipment.
Shockingly, three of the companies have listed Corporal Caroline Mango as their director, with only a change of the middle name.

Carrotexx Enterprise, directed by Caroline Atieno, was also paid Sh1.9 million. Jupecar Garments, with Caroline Ajow Mango listed as one of the directors, was paid Sh5.6 million.

The NYS scandal was among the biggest corruption cases that hit the country, with taxpayers funds embezzled in billions.
