Equity Bank has lost a bid to reverse a court order to pay a customer Sh450,000 in compensation for money lost following a drugging incident.

High Court Judge Julius Ng'arng'ar upheld the order issued by a magistrate court in Kerugoya in September 2022, stating that the bank was liable for negligence by delaying the investigation of the matter, where the victim lost over Sh600,000.
