Akothee’s revelations have sparked a discussion about the broader issue of customer trust in banking institutions. In her social media post, Akothee questioned the trustworthiness of banks and urged account holders to be more vigilant.

The charges against Tonui include the theft of an Absa Bank Kenya Limited Visa Business Debit Card valued at Sh460 and 12 counts of theft from Aknotela Limited’s bank account, totaling Shs717,111. The alleged offenses occurred between August 7 and September 15, 2023.
