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.

The bank also claimed she kept Ksh 1.5 million in her office for the client and had irregular dealings that put the bank at financial and reputational risk.

Thuita, the central figure in the scandal, allegedly received over Ksh 1.1 billion from NYS in 2017 using several companies.

In 2020, a High Court ordered him to forfeit Ksh 35 million held in 10 bank accounts to the government after he failed to explain the source of the funds.

Despite internal red flags at Standard Chartered, the bank was slow to act on suspicions surrounding his transactions.

Eventually, the bank was among five financial institutions fined a combined Ksh 777 million in 2020 by the Central Bank of Kenya and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) for failing to report suspicious transactions tied to NYS under anti-money laundering laws.

Standard Chartered alone paid Ksh 100 million in a settlement that allowed it and its executives to avoid prosecution.

Wambui, who had worked at the bank for 13 years, maintained that she was not the only staff member who served Thuita and denied any personal relationship with him.

As we approach the one-year anniversary of the GenZ protests, it is painfully clear that this administration has learnt nothing about listening to the people. Rather than embracing dialogue and reforms, the government is escalating its crackdown on dissent, using fear and intimidation to silence those who speak out. Especially as the new Finance Bill approaches.

Rose Njeri, a young, brilliant software developer, is the latest victim of this repression. Her only “crime” was building an online tool to help ordinary Kenyans send their objections to the Finance Bill 2025. Instead of celebrating her innovation and contribution to civic engagement, the state has chosen to make an example of her. This is not just an attack on Rose. It is a continuation of the attack on the youth of this country. It is an attempt to stifle their courage, their innovative spirit, and their belief in the power of their own voices.

The harassment of Rose is, unfortunately, just the beginning. Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen’s recent call to criminalise so-called “fake abductions” is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to suppress dissent. Who decides what is “fake”? The same administration where the President and his top officials dismissed reports of abductions as fake news or self-inflicted, only to quietly admit the truth under public pressure?

If the state can so easily lie and dismiss abductions as hoaxes and then prosecute those who speak out, what recourse remains for victims or their families? This is a calculated move to manage public outrage and suppress criticism by turning the pursuit of justice into a punishable offence.

Now, more than ever, Kenyans must remain vigilant. We must speak up for our rights and for each other.

I call for the immediate release of Rose Njeri and urge all Kenyans to stand together against the silencing of our voices. Our future depends on it.

Ironically and curiously, this is the same administration shedding crocodile tears on GenZs and their blood and pretending to ask for forgiveness melancholically, "If there is any misstep, we apologize ...".

Fvck bank employees. Last year, I was refused a loan of KES 2M to finance a project, even after the client committed to pay into the bank's account only.
Later, I came to learn that bank officials expect a cut from the loan amount.
