On Friday, Haji and Kinoti met to review statements recorded by 40 individuals suspected to have been involved in the latest NYS scandal.
The two officers met at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations headquarters along Kiambu Road where they scrutinised evidence gathered by detectives.
Investigations were launched after it emerged that an unknown amount of money could have been lost at the NYS through fictitious payments.
The amount is suspected to be almost Sh10 billion though the Ministry of Public Service, Gender and Youth claims that it could be less than Sh1 billion.
President Uhuru Kenyatta has ordered for speedy investigations that have seen Youth PS Lillian Omollo and NYS Director
General Richard Ndubai step aside.
With the President personally taking charge of the anti-corruption fight, panic has gripped many in government straight from his office.
