An employment dispute between Standard Chartered Bank Kenya and its former Thika Road Mall branch manager, Anastacia Nyambura Wambui, has unearthed shocking details about how James Thuita, a key suspect in the Ksh 10 billion National Youth Service (NYS) corruption scandal, was allowed to withdraw large sums of money in cash, often carried away in bags. According to court documents, Thuita was treated as a high-value client and frequently made massive cash withdrawals that were facilitated by bank staff. CCTV footage allegedly showed him being handed bags by employees, including Wambui, to ferry the cash to his car. The revelations emerged during Wambui’s unfair dismissal suit, where she challenged her September 2018 sacking. She was accused of violating conflict of interest rules by allegedly giving her personal bag to Thuita to carry Ksh 2 million in cash.
