The Employment and Labour Relations Court has ratified Absa Bank’s decision to fire a branch manager linked to suspicious transactions, including unauthorised access to customer accounts and interaction with a suspected fraudster.
The court found that Lilian Adhiambo’s sacking on November 29, 2019, was justified because she failed to exercise integrity and financial probity as head of the Absa Karen branch, resulting in cash losses due to illegal access to customers’ accounts.
