Dear Sir
RE: PRIVATE SECTOR ANGLO LEASING TYPE SCANDAL AT
BARCLAYS KENYA
This morning, Tuesday, 21st February 2006, Mr. Mark Momanyi handed me my dismissal letter at 8.40 a.m., for my role in the Jones Mutua Mule matter. You were not even brave or courageous enough to discharge this crucial function, and cowardly delegated it to Mr. Momanyi.
I have been hurriedly dismissed before crucial questions to my letters below of 20th February 2006, 14th February 2006, 13th February 2006, 26th January
2006, 5th January 2006 and 28th December 2005, have been answered.
I took an early opportunity to expose this and other troubling related matters to the Barclays and ABSA Offices in the United Kingdom and South Africa, the Central Staff Committee of Barclays Bank of Kenya Limited, the Banking, Insurance and Finance Union (BIFU), the Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU), the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Labour, the Ministry of Justice, the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC), the Central Bank of Kenya, the Capital Markets Authority (CMA), the Nairobi Stock Exchange (NSE), the Parliamentary Committees on Finance, Labour and Justice, severally, the Kenya Bankers Association (KBA), the Federation of
Kenya Employers (FKE) and the Kenya Human Rights Commission, yet none of these organisations has bothered respond, intervene or get involved.
This is very troubling because almost all of the aforementioned organizations have copies of my letters below of 20th February 2006, 14th February 2006, 13th February 2006, 26th January 2006, 5th January 2006 and 28th December 2005, and more, but no action has been taken.
My conclusion is that there is a grand conspiracy to conceal one of the most shameful private sector financial and securities scandals in the history of
this country, comparable only to the disgraceful Anglo Leasing and Goldenburg scandals of the public sector.
With specific reference to the Jones Mutua Mule matter, my dismissal has been effected before a host of questions have been answered, and in particular, the five crucial ones below:
(i) Why am I the only officer who has been purportedly investigated and dismissed with regard to the Jones Mutua Mule matter, yet the Barclays Bank of Kenya Limited shareholding was immobilised for sale by myself, and the Standard Chartered Bank Kenya Limited shareholding was immobilised for sale by a different officer at Barclays Advisory and Registrar Services Limited? I asked this question in my letter below of 13th February 2006, which please see, and have still not received a response.
(ii) Why am I the only member of staff who has been under investigation in the above matter of Jones Mutua Mule, and ultimately been dismissed, when the documents were handled by at least five other members of staff at Barclays Advisory and Registrar Services Limited? I asked this question in my letter below of 14th February 2006, which please see, and have still not received a response.
(iii) Are investigations into the thirteen other fraud cases mentioned in my letter below of 28th December 2005, which I am made to understand have grown to sixteen during the period of my suspension, being handled with the same comical pace of urgency as the Jones Mutua Mule case? I asked this question in my letter below of 14th February 2006, which please see, and have still not received a response.
Related to this, I again specifically draw you attention to Page 17 of the "The Standard” of Thursday, 9th February 2006, which carries the story of one of the mentioned frauds that have been established during the period of my suspension and dismissal. The fraud is for East African Breweries Limited shares worth US $ 994,754 and the story is carried under the heading “KRA boss summoned”.
(iv) Several members of staff at Barclays Advisory and Registrar Services Limited have recorded statements with the Banking Fraud and Investigation Unit of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), regarding their roles in the numerous frauds that have lately been unearthed at Barclays Advisory and Registrar Services Limited. I have not been made to record a single statement regarding the Jones Mutua Mule matter with the Banking Fraud and Investigation Unit of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), clearly because the matter is not regarded as criminal, yet I have been on a 60 day suspension on half pay, purportedly in line with “clause A5 C) i) of the Collective Agreement covering Section Heads, Check Clerks, Clerical and subordinate staff” which is invoked in matters considered of a criminal nature, and neither have I not been charged or appeared in a Court of Law on a criminal charge. I have nevertheless been dismissed and no refund of my deducted salaries has been made to me
(v) Despite earlier blowing the whistle seven and a half years ago by way of my reports of 9th July 1998 and 30th July 1998, and thereafter in the years 1999, 2000 and recently but not finally, in the year 2004 by way of my 19 extensive reports on the infamous and shameful Nicholas Colin Olivier Watney fraud case, no corrective action has ever been taken at Barclays Advisory and Registrar Services Limited. My dismissal must come as a relief because I am now finally out of the way.
My only regret is that I did not expose these horrifying, scandalous and criminal affairs to the public earlier, no doubt, because I feared losing my
job. This is a burden of indecisiveness and betrayal to society that I will always have to bear.
I will not insult myself by appealing your decision to dismiss me empty handed after nine and a half years of dedicated service. I will also not give credence and legitimacy to the criminal activities of the Barclays and ABSA Group worldwide by lodging an internal appeal against my dismissal. I will fight for and seek redress externally in my capacity as a citizen of the Republic of Kenya, however long it takes. If my time on this Earth expires before the fight is concluded, then I will ensure that the fight is carried on by those I leave behind.
The coming weeks will be difficult for me, but I will nevertheless systematically reveal the Dens of Vice, Deceipt, Corruption, Thuggery, Contempt, Robbery,
Hypocrisy and Theft that the Barclays/ABSA Groups worldwide, actually are. In the coming weeks, I will systematically reveal how the Barclays/ABSA Groups worldwide, in conjunction with a larger and wider network, attempted to criminally and shamefully conceal a Kenyan private sector Anglo Leasing type scam.
Should I be harmed or killed, I have ensured that Barclays Bank of Kenya Limited and the Barclays/ABSA Groups worldwide, are held responsible.
Yours faithfully,
Michael Mundia Kamau
