Equity Group on Wednesday issued sacking notices to 1,200 staff in the wake of an internal investigation that revealed suspicious transactions through the employees’ bank and M-Pesa accounts, deepening the job cuts that started mid-May.
The termination notices follow investigations that kicked off on April 14, as the bank seeks to curb cases of conflict of interest among its staff.
