A judge has upheld the sacking of a former manager at Bank of Africa (BOA), saying she had been negligent in carrying out her duties, even as the lender claimed that her actions had exposed it to huge operational and financial risks.

Irene Wambura Njuki, the manager of global operations, was fired in May 2020 for gross misconduct after it was discovered that she had erroneously paid out money totalling $88,000 (approximately Sh11.3 million) on two occasions.
