Former Youth PS Lilian Omollo suffers another blow in NYS case

Former Youth Principal Secretary Lilian Omollo on Tuesday suffered a blow after her plea to be discharged over the loss of millions at National Youth Service (NYS) on grounds that courts have no authority to handle the cases after the lapse of more than two years, was dismissed.

Two magistrates handling separate cases in which she and other former senior government officials and traders are facing multiple charges over the loss of funds at the state agency dismissed claims that courts have no authority to proceed with the cases since the statutory timelines have since lapsed.
