The High Court has ordered First Community Bank to refund Sh1.2 million to a Kisumu-based company for negligence after unknown persons opened an account in the firm’s name where cheques stolen from the company would be deposited and money withdrawn.

Jumbo Foam Mattresses Industries Ltd told the court that cheques would be stolen from its accounts office, and deposited in the account that was opened without its knowledge.
