Standard Chartered Bank Kenya has said it is readying itself to settle a Sh7 billion payout to hundreds of its former employees after it lost a 16-year suit at the Supreme Court over the miscalculation of their pension.

The 629 staff successfully petitioned the court that their pension savings were undervalued when the bank’s scheme converted to a defined contribution from a defined benefit.
