  • A tycoon is counting his losses after his bank accounts were wiped clean in a hacking scam that led to the theft of over Ksh10 million.  

    Nakuru businessman Francis Ng’ang’a Kihara, wrote a petition to the Central Bank of Kenya, seeking its intervention in order to recover the funds. 

    He alleged that an unscrupulous bank employee was behind the plot to fleece him out of his hard-earned cash.

    Kihara, who recently noted suspicious transactions in his four bank accounts, obtained his statements which confirmed his allegations. 

    “I have done follow-ups for close to eleven months without success. I need the funds for my medical checkup,†he noted.

    Kihara, who sought the intervention of the CBK through his legal team Kanyi Ngure and Company Advocates, gave the bank 14 days to return the funds or else he would claim interest of 36 per cent per annum. 

    “Pursuant to the acts of theft your servant was charged with the criminal offense of stealing by servant contrary to Section 281 of the Penal Code. ”

    “Despite the fact that your servant was charged with the criminal offense on February 15, 2021, your bank has failed, neglected or refused to refund our client`s money totaling Ksh10 million,†read part of the petition.

    A police report revealed that a female employee was behind the scheme that led to the transfer of the funds without Kihara’s consent. The employee has since been arrested after internal investigations were completed. 

    “Bankers are perceived and believed to be secure institutions by their very nature that they hold money in trust on behalf of their customers. It is expected that they should make sure the money they hold does not go to another person except the owner of the money,” 

    “We will be claiming the interest from the date when criminal charges were preferred against the employee, until payment in full, and all proceedings shall be at your bank’s own risks as to costs and other incidental charges thereby incurred,” Kihara’s lawyer noted.
