What you need to know:

  • The suspect is currently on suspension but the ODPP avers in court papers that he (Mr Rotich) continues to defraud unsuspecting clients of their hard-earned money.
  • “The bank continues to receive more complaints from its clients in the Kisii branch. There is fear that the amount might go higher as the investigations continue. The respondent while on suspension continues to fraud customers, taking the advantage that the customer still knows he is on duty,” the application reads. 

The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) has asked a Nairobi court to grant it orders to continue detaining a senior employee of NCBA Group over fraudulent loss of at least Sh47 million. 

Mr Philip Kiprono Rotich, who has served as NCBA’s employee for 10 years, is suspected to have committed the crime between November 2023 and October 2024 when he served as assistant operations manager at the bank’s Kisii branch.
