A Nairobi woman has denied stealing Sh6.1 million from her employer and sending part of the money to her boyfriend. Rachael Wanjiru Karongo is accused of colluding with others to steal Sh6,178,178 from Beautalice Investment Limited.
According to the charge sheet, Karongo committed the offence on diverse dates between June 6, 2017 and August 20, 2022 at Total Membley Service Station in Ruiru. She has also been charged with conspiring to defraud her employer.
Karongo had been employed at the company to oversee operations, including overall supervision, purchase of goods and payment of suppliers, starting June 2017.
In August this year, the employer invited auditors who confirmed discrepancies in the cash flow. The auditors sought clarification from Karongo who failed to account for the cash drop and missing money.
They found Karongo had made fabricated payments to suppliers and in some instances issued an ETR receipts but later reversed transaction in the retail management systems.
