A transport company seeking Sh1.5 billion in damages from Absa Bank Kenya over an alleged data breach has told the court it has engaged an independent auditor to quantify the financial losses it claims to have suffered following the alleged unlawful disclosure of its confidential banking records to a third party.

New Mega Africa, which is suing the bank over the alleged breach, sought more time to present the auditor's expert report, telling the court that the auditor is currently undertaking field assignments outside the country.
