After wide consultation with our IT department regarding losses, we have been recording the past few weeks, we followed some leads and came to the conclusion it was through the use of past Mpesa codes in our system to settle the current bills of our customer,” read part of the statement.

“The management later learned that they were released on bond for a later investigation. After release, they came to our premises threatening the management and hence the drama began between our management and the foresaid workers who were asking for their monthly salary and that’s where we made it clear that we could not pay them until the investigation is completed.”
