Former Jamii Bora Bank executive director Minnie Mbue is now Sh38 million richer after the Court of Appeal rejected a request by the microfinance to suspend a judgment in which she was awarded the amount as compensation for unfair sacking.
The lender, which is now known as Kingdom Bank after its acquisition by the Co-operative Bank, wanted Ms Mbue to be barred from demanding the money pending determination of its request to challenge the award at the Supreme Court.
But the three-judge bench said nothing in the bank’s case constitute matters of public interest to warrant a move to the Supreme Court.
