Last month, a total of Sh130 million was stolen in multiple fraud cases reported in banks and other financial institutions countrywide. The Banking Fraud Investigations Department said it received 43 cases which involved 53 suspects who were allegedly involved in the reported fraud.

Much of the money was stolen through stolen blank cheques, Electronic Funds Transfer, loans counterfeits; computer fraud, theft by servant and forgery.
