Co-operative Bank of Kenya has increased its staff size by 457 in the last 12 months to September on the back of continued branch expansion in the country.

The lender’s latest disclosures show it closed September with 5,249 employees, up from 4,792 in a similar period last year, becoming among the few firms in corporate Kenya to grow headcount in the challenging operating environment where job cuts have become rampant.
