Kenyan youths may have to find an alternative source of finances after reports emerged that funds meant for business loans were spent on other activities.
A report submitted by the Auditor General Nancy Gathugu in parliament revealed that the Youth Enterprise Development Fund (YEDF) diverted the money and used it for staff travel and salaries.
The AG expressed disappointment saying that such actions derail the government's effort to support the youths in gaining economic freedom and to have an assured source of income.
