A bank employee has been accused of stealing millions from her workplace.
Debra Nyanduko, a teller at Equity Bank, was arraigned in court on allegations that she stole KSh 2,410,000.
According to the charge sheet, the offences took place between April 6 and April 24, 2023, at the bank’s Tom Mboya Branch in Nairobi.
The prosecution told the court that the case involves other suspects who are yet to be arrested. Investigators are continuing with the probe, and more people are expected to be charged.
It was also revealed that there is a related case already before Court No. 5, which is set for hearing soon.
The presiding magistrate ordered that Nyanduko’s file be forwarded to Court No. 5 for further directions. This includes the determination of whether she will be released on bail or bond.
For now, Nyanduko remains in custody until the court issues its next ruling.
