Dear Madam,

RE: CHARTERHOUSE BANK AFFAIR

I refer to the above and to our Tuesday meeting, which was also attended by the Chairman of
the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights, Mr. Maina Kiai and Mr. Titus MWirigi.

I take this opportunity to thank you very much for the audience you accorded us and to the
very positive concern you had on both the Charterhouse Bank scandal and to my personal
safety.

As advised, the KNCHR has written to the Police Commissioner, Brig. Hussein Ali, seeking
explanations for my last Friday's harassmem by his police officers and demanding a guarantee
from his office for my personal safety .
.J
I must also confirm that am with you, and all other Kenyans who have demonstrated the will,
and by action to set our country free from corruption. Should you therefore require my
assistance, in any way, in getting to the bottom of this scandal, kindly feel free to get in touch.

As explained in the meeting, my experience at Charterhouse Bank and as their internal auditor
convinced me that the Bank was not established to carry out legitimate banking business. In
view of this, I became suspicious of over 70% of the total number of accounts maintained by
this Bank. In this regard, I provided KRA, through one of their senior officers by the name of
Doreen the whole database of Charterhouse Bank's accounts totaling over 200. Within this
list, I highlighted 85 accounts, which from my analysis had either not paid tax at all or had
deliberately declared wrong business turnovers in order to pay less tax. This was with the
understanding that the rest of the accounts be scrutinized for tax evasion. My source from KRA
confirmed to me that they have assessed quite a quite a number of accounts outside the 85
that I highlighted, though they have not exhausted the list.
KRA then promised to compensate me under their nationally advertised scheme. which states as
under:

Kenya Revenue Authority wishes to draw the public's attention to a scheme that rewards
persons who provide information as below:
• Information leading to the identification of hitherto undisclosed taxes _ a reward
amounting to I % of the tax identified up to a maximum of Kshs. 100, 000/=
• Information leading to the recovery of hitherto undisclosed taxes - a reward amounting to
3% of the taxes collected.
th
On 5 May 2004, they paid me cash Kshs.200. 000/= which they described as a token of
appreciation for providing very useful information with a confirmation that my rightful dues
would follow soon. This was never to be the case. After over one year of several vigorous
chasers they paid me by cheque a paltry Kshs. 250,279/20 on 13th June 2005. This payment
was described as my dues for recoveries made from one of the accounts on the list. Subsequent
follow-ups and visits to KRA have yielded no fruits even after several meetings with their .
Chairman. Mr. Mwangola. the Commissioner General Mr. Waweru and the Deputy
Commissioner Mr. Nduati

Mheshimiwa, I fail to understand why KRA cannot zero in on these accounts as a matter of
urgency. They have been sitting on a potential tax recovery of over Kshs 20 billion while the
country is continuously begging for donor funds all over the world. Furthermore the exposure
of these criminals will enable other arms of the Government put to an end these malpractices.

I therefore kindly request you to prevail upon the Minister for Finance, Hon. Amos Kimunya to
address this issue with his officers at KRA.

Enclosed please find copies of the follOWing:

• A list of the suspected 85 accounts of Cha rterhouse Bank


• A copy of the KRA payment voucher for Kshs. 200,000/= dated 5th May 2004
• A copy of cheque no.022625 for Kshs 250.279/20 in favour of Peter George Odhiambo
• Copy of KRA's newspaper advertisement on their information reward scheme

Yours sincerely

1.12.1 Introduction
The Statutory Manager, Charterhouse Bank Limited appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers Limited to
conduct some investigations under terms of reference contained in the contract dated 12 July 2006.

Under the terms of reference, we were to carry out the following tasks;

i) Review transactions that Charterhouse Bank Limited (“CB Limited” or “the bank”) has
recorded in clients’ accounts with special focus on insider and group-related client
accounts;

ii) Determine if there are any indications of irregularities, such as illegal transactions or
criminal offences, fraud or dishonesty committed in the course of conducting business;

iii) Establish if further work would need to be carried out to provide evidence of any
irregularities committed, or provide any other relevant recommendations;

iv) Determine the status of CB Limited’s compliance with and prudence in following Know
Your Customer (KYC) best banking procedures through review of the appropriateness of
the institution’s KYC policy and its application on all targeted accounts;

v) Determine if there has been any material breach of the Banking Act, the Central Bank of
Kenya Act or the regulations, guidelines or other matters prescribed by the Central Bank
during the period covered by the review.

The scope of the investigation was limited to reviewing information available within the bank. The
investigation did not involve interviewing customers or other third parties or reviewing the records of
or information held by customers and third parties. Consequently, the ability of the review to reveal
criminal or illegal transactions committed by customers is limited. While the review revealed
irregular transactions, it is difficult to ascertain whether criminal or illegal activities have occurred by
reviewing bank records alone. From our reviews, we have reported transactions that are irregular
and give our recommendations on the way forward, including recommendations for further
investigations and follow-up of issues with previous management.

Our work included sampling more than 1,004 accounts in accordance with our terms of reference
and reviewing in detail transactions in those accounts which appeared unusual, with special focus on
insider and group related client accounts. As explained below, we faced considerable handicap in
obtaining information necessary for our review. Therefore, all unusual transactions may not be
reasonably expected to be identified from our work.

1.22.2 Information flow and availability Formatted: Bullets and Numbering

We were faced with some formidable challenges in obtaining information which impeded the
progress of our review. As a result, we were not able to access some of the information that we
would have wished to obtain to make the exercise more effective. Some example of this are;

i) We got the impression of a general unwillingness among the bank’s staff to provide us with
information and only got minimal cooperation from them;

PricewaterhouseCoopers Project Fabio 1


Report to the Statutory Manager, Charterhouse Bank “Under Statutory Management”
ii) The bank’s general manager proceeded on leave without notice at the beginning of the
assignment rendering information flow difficult;

iii) We were not able to obtain certain documents for transactions prior to June 2004 as the
relevant supporting documents were said to have been destroyed in a fire at the company’s
archives in September 2004;

iv) The bank’s core system, Equinox, was down for most of the time and was never fully
functional as it experienced considerable downtime. Efforts to get Equinox vendors, Neptune
Software Limited to resolve these handicaps did not bear much fruit in the first two weeks of
the assignment. Afterwards, the syst em was intermittently down and some of the
functionalities could not be utilised;

v) By the time of writing this report we had not obtained documentation in support of
telegraphic transfers (TTs) for periods prior to 1 January 2005. We also did not obtain
supporting documents for the last quarter of 2005. There were significant transfers made
during this period and especially between 25 and 26 October 2005. The Statutory Manager
attempted to obtain the documents for these 2 days, which we understand were available
but management refused to yield. We also understand that subsequent to our departure
from the bank, the Banking Fraud team was called in to help extract the documents for these
days;

vi) We also requested but did not obtain from the bank’s management supporting vouchers for
the nostro accounts for periods prior to January 2006. The manager in charge of the
department informed us he was new and could only provide information for 2006
transactions. We were only able to get some of this information on the last day of the field
work. Consequently, we could not investigate these accounts fully.

vii) Our use of computer-assisted audit tools to interrogate data was also frustrated as neither
the bank, nor their system vendors could provide the investigating team with the requisite
data dictionaries to enable us interpret the data. This means that whilst we could review the
debit and credit entries in each account, we could not easily identify the other side of the
entries. For example, if we identified a credit entry in the sundry creditors account, it was not
possible to identify the corresponding debit without laboriously reviewing the individual
entries in the various accounts in which we suspected the debit entry would be.

1.32.3 Key findings Formatted: Bullets and Numbering

The key findings of our work are as follows:

i) The bank is not following accepted KYC procedures. Although the bank has clearly
documented KYC procedures, these are largely ignored and there is no documented
evidence of the bank attempting to obtain an understanding of the identity of some
of the bank’s active customers or their businesses. There are strong indications of
irregular activity in some of these accounts.

ii) The bank is in breach of the Banking Act and Prudential Guidelines with respect to
single borrower limits and insider lending and reporting / maintenance of documents for
foreign currency transactions.

iii) There is evidence of the bank carrying out banking operations without complying with laid
down internal control procedures or only intermittent application of key laid-down policies
and procedures. Examples of irregular operations include the following:

− Customer mandates were in some cases either ignored or overstepped. We noted


instructions to transfer funds from individuals who did not have appropriate authority;

− Alteration of cheque details;

− Opening and closing accounts for purposes of passing certain specific transactions.

− We also noted instances where cheques honoured for payment by the bank were
not signed by the customer.

− Failure to maintain appropriate records of transactions;

There are numerous anomalies identified which raise doubts about the credibility of the information
and records maintained by the bank. We consider the general control environment in the bank as
weak and we have seen evidence of rampant override of controls by management.

We recommend further investigation into the operations of the bank and more specifically in respect
of some transactions highlighted in this report to rule out the possibility of money laundering,
abetting of tax evasion by customers or other irregularities. We have detailed numerous
unusual transactions in section 5 of the report, which point to possible irregularity, some involving
accounts of companies related to the directors of CB. A number of accounts need to be
investigated further, including all accounts of the Kingsway Motor Group and related
companies, the Kariuki Muigua & Co Advocates accounts, accounts related to Dilpun Shah,
and all accounts identified in the web of transactions involving Paolo Sattanino as discussed
in Section 5.2 of the report. For such further investigation to be effective, it should extend to
speaking to the customers and reviewing their records.

Some of the key findings are summarised below and discussed in greater detail in the main report.

Know your client (KYC) procedures

Banking best practice requires banks to gain an understanding of the customer’s identity and their
source of funds among other things. CB has developed some KYC procedures that require
prospective customers to supply certain information and to complete account opening forms which
are then approved before an account can be opened. We however noted that these procedures are
largely ignored. Some of the discrepancies are as follows:

i) Numerous account opening forms are missing or are incomplete;

ii) A number of accounts do not have customer’s contact details/addresses. This could be an
indication that such customers do not get statements of account (which acts as a check
against irregular activity in customer accounts).

iii) There are accounts, both personal and corporate, that do not have the customer’s photo
image either on the syst em or on the physical account opening forms. The bank’s KYC
procedures require photo and signature images for both personal and corporate accounts.

iv) Some accounts do not have proper account names. For example, numerous accounts are only
described using initials such as CIL, PIVB, S Shah and D Shah. Some of these accounts do
not have account opening forms and have been used to process unusual transactions.

v) The credit histories for most of the advance files we reviewed are not up to date;

vi) CBK prudential guideline CBK/PG/08 requires banks to report suspicious transactions to CBK.
Some of the transactions observed are suspicious and one would expect a bank to report such
transactions to the Central Bank. There are indications that the bank officials may be involved
in abetting these suspicious transactions.

vii) In the absence of customer details, especially where there are no documents at all signed by
customers, it is difficult to confirm that the customers actually exist in all cases, or whether
accounts have been created to facilitate specific transactions.

Out of the 1,004 accounts sampled for KYC reviews, we did not obtain 839 account opening forms or
customer instructions (being 83% of our sample and representing 217 relationships). We were
informed by management that these forms/ instructions do not exist. We have analysed the results of
the 165 forms that we were able to review in Appendix II.

Of the account opening forms obtained, we have summarised in the table below the key findings
analysed into the following three categories based on the nature of the customer:

• Incorporated businesses

• Unincorporated entities/ partnerships

• Personal accounts

The table below summarises these exceptions:

Compliance with banking laws and regulations

Banking regulations such as the Banking Act, Central Bank of Kenya Act, Central Bank of Kenya
Prudential guidelines govern the operations of banks. These include limits on a variety of areas and
also reporting requirements on certain aspects of the banks’ operations.

There are four main areas noted where the bank was not in compliance with the requirements
of these regulations i.e. (i) lending limits to single borrowers and their associates, (ii) limits
on lending to related parties, (ii) unsecured lending to officers of the bank and their
associates, and (iv) foreign currency transactions. The key points are listed below

i) The Prudential Guideline CBK/PG/07 (Section 3.2.3) and Section 11 of the Banking Act
prohibit lending in excess of 20% of the institution’s core capital to any one insider and their
associates. We noted instances where lending to directors of the bank and companies
associated with them are beyond these limits. An example is the lending to companies
associated with the Managing Director, Sanjay Shah, which were in excess of 40% of the
bank’s core capital and are equivalent to 11% of the entire lending;

ii) The lending above also exceeds the limits of 25% of core capital imposed by Section 10 of
the Banking Act on facilities to single borrowers and their associates;

PricewaterhouseCoopers Project Fabio 5


Report to the Statutory Manager, Charterhouse Bank “Under Statutory Management”
iii) The Prudential Guidelines CBK/PG/02 (Section 3.5.2.1) requires directors, chief executive
officers and management of a bank to declare any financial interest in customers of the bank
in order to reduce or eliminate conflicts of interest. Thereafter such directors or officers should
not be directly involved in the bank’s dealings with such customers. The bank has extensive
dealings with the Kingsway Group and Creative Innovations Limited in which some directors
have an interest. Based on our review of information provided, there was also evidence that
the disclosures made by the directors to CBK on their other directorships were not complete.
There are numerous companies with which some directors are associated, which have not
been disclosed in their submissions to the Central Bank of Kenya (“CBK”).

iv) Section 11 of the Banking Act and Section 3.5.2.7 of CBK/PG/02 prohibits directors, chief
executive officers and management from granting any advances, loans or credit facilities
which are not fully secured to any of its officers, significant shareholders or their associates.
We noted instances where loans to officers and their associates are unsecured.

v) CBK has issued ‘Guidelines on Foreign Exchange’ that require banks to report any
transaction above US $50,000 and to retain documentary evidence for those transactions.
We were not provided, for our review, with copies of these returns other than for those made
in 2006;

vi) CBK has issued Guidelines on Foreign Exchange that require banks to retain
documentary evidence for those transactions in foreign currency amounting to more
than US$ 10,000. We noted numerous instances of transfers of US $ 10,000 and below
by a single customer to a single beneficiary on the same day indicating an intention to
split such transactions to avoid maintenance of records or reporting transactions
above US $ 50,000 as required by CBK;

vii) From the review of the returns to CBK for 2006, we noted an incomplete return relating to
some funds transferred from the Lion Club of Ethiopia account. We have reviewed
transactions in the Lion Club of Ethiopia account and noted other unusual/ suspicious
transactions;

viii) The bank had about 150 accounts which, although denominated in Kenya Shillings had
almost all transactions in them in foreign currencies. Most of these accounts were closed in
2004 and new accounts opened for the same customers in the respective foreign currencies.
Although the account balances were in shillings, we noted that there were regular
revaluations of the balances indicating that the intention of the bank was to retain foreign
currency value. It is therefore possible that returns made to the CBK on the currency positions
were misleading and did not include these types of accounts.

Unusual transactions and accounts which indicate unusual operations of the Bank

There is evidence of irregular banking practices based on our review of customer accounts. During
our investigations, we noted a number of transactions that appeared unusual and for which we
recommend further investigation. Instances noted include the following:

i) We noted numerous cases where certain customers engaged in regular large cash
transactions that are considered unusual. There were unusually large cash withdrawals
and deposits which may indicate an intention to conceal the true source or beneficiary
of the payments made. The supporting debit vouchers and deposit slips were not detailed
enough to show to whom the cash was paid or from whom deposits were received;

ii) We noted a pattern of transactions involving a web of related accounts held at the bank which
may indicate an intention to conceal the true source or beneficiary of the payment made. For
example:

− there are several parties making payments directly or indirectly to accounts in


the name of Paolo Sattanino and an entity called Capricorn SRL (no account
opening details are available for these accounts), who in turn make payments
overseas to various parties. We have identified a number of companies involved in
this web, including Kingsway Mart and Creative Innovations. It is not clear what the
transfers relate to. The amounts involved are sometimes significant and are explained
in greater detail in section 5.2 of the report. We recommend that these payments be
investigated further to establish their nature and rule out irregularity.

− A certain Dilpun Shah acts on behalf of several companies which have a link to
payments made to Paolo Sattanino.

iii) We have noted that the bank is using a sundry creditors account for processing payments
from or to customer accounts. Some of the payments debited to customer accounts such as
the Prajapati account as ‘cash withdrawals’ were traced to the sundry creditors account.
There is also evidence that loan repayments for a loan granted to Parmex Limited, originated
from the Sundry creditors account. There is no evidence where the funds came from or
whether these were indeed genuine loan repayments. It is possible that the sundry creditors
account has been used to conceal transactions between accounts. It is also possible that
cash may not have moved as recorded, or cash may not actually have moved into/ out of the
bank.

iv) Unusual loan accounts/transactions. In addition to the Parmex Limited loan transaction
discussed above, we have noted other examples, such as the Sailesh Prajapati account,
where loan accounts have been credited with amounts described as “loan proceeds” or
“transfers” from unexplained or unrelated accounts.

v) There are large inward and outward telegraphic transfers which are unsupported. These are
repatriation and receipt of funds to or from sources and purposes that we could not ascertain.

PricewaterhouseCoopers Project Fabio 7


Report to the Statutory Manager, Charterhouse Bank “Under Statutory Management”
As explained before, we were unable to obtain supporting documents for most foreign
currency transfers. Examples of some of the large transactions noted for which no support
has been provided include the following:

− Crucial Properties Limited – Shs 2 billion received in January 2001 and its subsequent
transfer from the receiving account;

− Kariuki Muigua Client Account – Shs 312 million received from Crucial Properties
Limited in February 2001. The funds were withdrawn within a week and paid to other
parties;

− Kingsway Tyres Limited – there were several large cash and telegraphic transfers in
September, October and November 2005.

− Various foreign currency transactions by Paolo Sattanino.

vi) Some accounts were opened, operated and closed within an unusually short period of time
indicating that they were opened to facilitate specific transactions only;

vii) There were some unusually high “insurance premium” payments to an insurance company
overseas for individual endowment policies debited from the Kingsway Tyres account CA 01-
000795. The supporting documents showed some discrepancies;

viii) There were instances where an account holder used cheques issued in another account’s
name to transact business in his account. This was done by manually altering the account
name and number on the cheques. Most of the transactions done in this manner were
described as cash withdrawals;

ix) Withdrawals/ transactions were made contrary to or without appropriate account mandates;

x) There was a large number of accounts maintained in Kenya Shillings, but having foreign
currency transactions, that were closed in April 2004 and replaced by new accounts. The
instructions to close the old accounts and to open new ones were not made available;

xi) We noted a number of fixed deposit accounts with very unusual transactions. These were
fixed deposit accounts that had a history of debit balances. The debit balances would reverse
in due course through unusual entries and would eventually turn into credit balances.

23 Know your customer “KYC” procedures
Banking best practice requires banks to gain an understanding of the customer’s identity and their
source of funds among other things. CB has developed some KYC procedures that require
prospective customers to supply certain information and to complete account opening forms which
are then approved before an account can be opened. We however noted that these procedures are
largely ignored. Some of the discrepancies are as follows:

i) Missing account opening forms - Contrary to the requirement that every new customer of the
bank completes a standard account opening form detailing information about the individual or
the entity, most accounts are not supported by either account opening forms or customer
instructions. Of the 1,004 accounts we sampled for review, there were no account opening
forms or customer instructions for 839 accounts (representing 217 relationships). These have
been summarised under Appendix I;

ii) Where the account opening forms were available, we noted numerous instances where the
information on the forms was incomplete. The forms require the customer to provide details
about the account to be opened. Once this form is reviewed, the appropriate bank official
signs it as an indication that the customer’s request has been accepted and an account can
be opened. Details missing included the following:
− Certificate of incorporation, memorandum and articles of association for corporate
customers;
− Trade licenses
− Resolutions of directors to open an account with Charterhouse Bank;
− Address verification documents such as utility bill, or bank statements;

We have summarised in Appendix II the accounts where these details were missing;

iii) The bank requires its new customers to obtain references from existing customers of the
bank. However, we noted instances where potential customers did not obtain such
introductions but instead a bank official noted “known to the bank” in that field. No bank
official has signed the form to confirm this on behalf of the bank;

iv) There were instances where appropriate bank officers had not approved the account opening
forms. We have summarised examples noted where the appropriate approvals are missing.
See Appendix II;

v) The KYC procedures require that copies of documents supplied be certified as “True copies
of the original”. We noted instances where copies had not been certified;

vi) We noted files where the credit history was not up to date. Examples are overdraft accounts
whose facilities have expired and there was no evidence of follow-up since there were no
recent correspondences between the bank and the customer;

PricewaterhouseCoopers Project Fabio 9


Report to the Statutory Manager, Charterhouse Bank “Under Statutory Management”
vii) Accounts without postal or physical addresses

The postal or physical addresses of the following customers from our sample were not recorded as
expected.

Account Name Account type Account No

Kenya Catermart Limited FX 01-400142


Maniben Meghji Shah FX 01-400091
Parmex Limited FX 01-400017
Parmex Limited CA 01-000193
Anandi Vipin Shah CD 01-206954
Sonal Devani FD 01-207285

Lack of postal or other addresses imply the following:

• That the customer does not obtain regular updates of the transactions in that account;

• The accounts may not be genuine. There is a possibility that the companies and individuals
mentioned above are not aware of the accounts above.

• The transactions processed in these accounts may be irregular and would call for further
investigations.

viii) Accounts using unusual names - opened using initials

Our review revealed accounts as well as beneficiaries whose names appeared to be short forms.
Examples include the following:

• An account by the name CIL – whose directors were the same as those operating the
account of Creative Innovations Limited;

• A beneficiary by the name PIL receiving payments from Creative Innovations Limited;

• An account by the name D Shah (which may relate to accounts operated by Dilpun Shah);

• An account named S Shah;

• An account named PIVB (whose details we did not obtain).

Other than CIL, we were not provided with the account opening forms for the accounts above. We
were therefore not able to confirm other details of these accounts. There were some unusual
transactions in some of these accounts.

34 Compliance with laws and regulations
3.14.1 Requirements of the Banking laws and regulations
In accordance with the terms of reference, we carried out a review of compliance with the various
laws and regulations in place during the period under review. The key requirements of the various
regulations relevant to this exercise cover a wide range of matters including the following:

i) Corporate governance - The guidelines among other things, apply to the duties,
responsibilities and code of conduct for shareholders, directors, chief executive officers and
management of the bank. The code of conduct deals with outside financial interests by the
directors and insider loans as well as the required disclosures.

ii) Proceeds of crime and money laundering (prevention) - The guidelines deal with methods
of prudent customer identification, record keeping, identification of suspicious activities and
the need to report such activities to the appropriate authorities for further investigation. The
guidelines require that banks report any suspicious transactions to the CBK.

iii) Enforcement of banking laws and regulations; the guidelines deal with the supervisory role
of the CBK and the role of the board of directors in ensuring that laws are enforced and
weaknesses noted from CBK inspections are acted on.

iv) Foreign exchange transactions - The CBK guidelines require banks to maintain supporting
documents for all transactions above US$ 10,000 or equivalent, in addition to the
requirement that they report any transaction above US$ 50,000.

v) Prohibited business - This guideline applies to transactions by the bank including insider
lending limitations, single borrower limits, requirement to obtain security for any insider
lending, and prohibition of reckless and fraudulent activities.

The following were noted from this review:

3.24.2 Returns to CBK Formatted: Bullets and Numbering

Management made available to us the returns made to CBK in 2006. For these returns, we focused
on foreign currency transactions to ensure that transactions that required reporting to CBK were
appropriately reported. Our review has indicated evidence of non-compliance, especially for
transactions above the required reporting threshold of US$ 50,000, and in respect of maintaining
documents for transactions above US$ 10,000.

The table below shows details of some transactions which we traced to TT confirmations that were
not appropriately reported. For most, no appropriate supporting documents were made available for
our review. A number of these transactions were in cash and were not properly supported.

electronic mails. See further work under 5.2.2.

3.34.3 Splitting of foreign currency transactions Formatted: Bullets and Numbering

From a review of a sample of customer instructions, we noted instances where single payments
were split into several telegraphic transfers. One such instance was through a letter dated 10
January 2005 from Creative Innovations Limited (See Appendix B) requesting the bank to make
transfers to various beneficiaries, among them Paolo Sattanino.

The instructions to pay Paolo Sattanino required the bank to remit US$ 90,000 and Euros 19,000 in
amounts of less than US$ 10,000 each over consecutive dates.

PricewaterhouseCoopers Project Fabio 12


Report to the Statutory Manager, Charterhouse Bank “Under Statutory Management”
Although the value of the transaction is significantly above the US$ 50,000 limit set by CBK for
reporting and obtaining supporting documentation from the customer, this seems to have been
avoided by splitting the transaction.

The table below illustrates some transfers split under instructions from Creative Innovations in
January 2005. We have traced the transfers to the accounts of Paolo Sattanino; CA 01-800145 and
CA 01-600006. The customer instructions appear unusual and may be aimed at ensuring that
reporting to CBK does not become necessary.

There were other foreign currency payments made out of Creative Innovations Limited account
number 01-000009. These payments also indicated possible splitting of amounts as there were
several remittances to a single beneficiary on the same date. We have summarised these in
Appendix III.

There were other payments of this nature to Paolo Sattanino from the Kingsway Mart Limited
account CA 01-000564.

3.44.4 Insider lending Formatted: Bullets and Numbering

Our review of lending to directors, their associates, and companies related to the directors revealed
breaches to the Banking Act. These breaches are summarised below:

• Lendings to Sanjay R Shah and companies associated with him as on 23 June 2006 stood at
40.5%, exceeding the 20% limit set out under the revised guidelines and under Section 11 of
the Banking Act;

PricewaterhouseCoopers Project Fabio 13


Report to the Statutory Manager, Charterhouse Bank “Under Statutory Management”
• Lendings to Sanjay R Shah and companies associated with him (including his brother, Manoj R
Shah) as at 23 June 2006 exceeded the 25% maximum permitted under Section 10 of the
Banking Act for any one single borrower;

• The disclosures made to CBK on lending to insiders were incomplete. Since these returns are
made by bank officials, the omissions would indicate either negligence or concealment.

The table below shows the lending to Sanjay Shah and associated entities. We have identified the

Securities for insider lending

Prudential Guideline CBK/PG/02 3.5.2.7 and Section 11 of the Banking Act prohibit directors, chief
executive officers and management from granting any advances, loans or credit facilities which are
not fully secured to any of its officers, significant shareholders or their associates. We noted
instances where loans to officers and their associates were unsecured.

We reviewed documentation of 25 advances identified as relating to insiders and noted the following:

• We noted instances where advances and instalment agreements were not properly
documented. The amounts advanced, the instalments due as well as the guarantee
indemnities did not bear the names of the borrower, amounts borrowed and the instalments
due.

• There were no customer board resolutions for 13 corporate advances whereas for 7
advances, the board resolutions did not have key details such as the date of the resolution.

• 8 advances did not have any securities, whereas 15 advances did not indicate value of the
security;

• For 15 of the related party advances, the were no registered charges (legal charges) for the
securities provided;

4.1.15.1.1 Accounts operated by the Kingsway group Formatted: Bullets and Numbering

Kingsway Tyres & Automart Limited, Kingsway Tyres Limited, Kingsway Motors Limited and
Kingsway Investments Limited are companies related through common directorships and common
shareholding. The companies have operated and still continue to operate numerous accounts with
CB.

The relatively low balances in these accounts as shown in the table below are in contrast to the high
turnover experienced within the accounts during the past few years.

As noted in Section 5.5 of this report, our review of transactions in the three accounts above
indicated unusual transactions for which we recommend further investigation. In addition, further
investigations are recommended to establish whether a relationship exists between the level of

turnover in the bank accounts above and the revenue turnover reflected in the statutory accounts of
these companies.

4.1.25.1.2 Nakumatt Holdings Limited - CA 01-000085 Formatted: Bullets and Numbering

Nakumatt Holdings maintained three accounts as at 23 June 2006; a call deposit account, a US$
current account and a shilling current account. The shilling current account CA 01-000085 was the
most active.

The review of this account showed very substantial credits on a regular basis. We understood from
enquiry with management that the practice is for Nakumatt to deposit its collections into its Barclays
accounts and then transfer to CB those funds required to settle suppliers’ liabilities. We however
noted the following matters that appeared unusual and which require further investigation:

i) We noted that during the period between May 2003 and October 2003, an amount of Shs 3.6
million was transferred to the Prajapati account on a weekly basis. There were 22 such transfers
totalling Shs 79.2 million for which no supporting documentation was available as these were
said to have been destroyed in a fire in September 2004. The transfers have been summarised
in the table below:

ii) We also noted that in December of the same year, large transfers were made to the Prajapati
account from the Nakumatt account for which no support was provided. These are as per the
table below:

iii) On 20 December 2005, a single debit transfer of Shs 120 million was made from the Sundry
Creditors account SC 01-600000 to the Nakumatt account CA 01-000085. On the same day,
another debit transfer of Shs 12 million was made. No support was provided for these
transactions. These are shown in the table below:

20-Jan-05 chq no. 001261 Nakumatt Holdings 120,000,000

iv) We noted a cheque of Shs 6 million which was signed by one signatory contrary to the mandates
documented. The cheque used to make this withdrawal had alterations on its face that were not
counter-signed. The alterations related to blotting out the name of the account on the face of the
cheque as well as the account number and replacing them with Nakumatt details. We have
included a copy of this cheque as Appendix D.

v) There were regular payments to the Fresh an Juici account of Shs 6.5 million on a regular basis
for which we did not see any standing instructions. Between April 2005 and April 2006, Shs 286
million had been transferred in this manner.

We have classified these transactions as unusual and requiring further investigation as it is not clear
what the bases of the transactions are, or because we identified irregularities in the accounts to/
from where payments were made.

4.1.35.1.3 Greenhills Investments Limited Formatted: Bullets and Numbering

The company has an active current account whose directors include Manish and Manoj Shah who
are brothers to the bank’s managing director, Sanjay Shah. Other directors are Mehraz Ehsani and
Hamed Ehsani both of whom are also directors of the bank. The company is involved in property
business and other financial assets, and we understand it owns the Village Market Complex in Gigiri,
Nairobi.

There were several large or unusual transactions, in respect of which we were not provided with
appropriate supporting documents, as summarised below.

4.1.45.1.4 Lions Club of Ethiopia CA 01-600173 Formatted: Bullets and Numbering

Documents provided showed that Lion Club of Ethiopia opened an account with the bank on 20 April
2004. As per the documents, the customer was introduced by Mr Manoj Shah. The following gaps
were identified:

• The documentation relating to the opening of the account was incomplete as there were no
resolutions by the trustees (or equivalent) of Lions Club of Ethiopia to open the account

• We noted a transfer of GBP 400 from this account to Miss Priyum Shah (National
Westminster Bank Plc), a daughter of Manoj Shah. See Appendix E for the details.

• We noted a payment of US$ 30,200 paid in cash to Helen Kadri Bandi - ID 13370468 on 19
May 2006. The payment instructions were not in the institution's letterhead but rather
comprised an invoice from Medisel (K) Ltd. On 15 June 2006, another US$ 10,000 was paid
to Eunice Wairimu Wambugu - ID 9256544 without instructions from Lion Club of Ethiopia.

We sampled a few transactions from the account to check whether they were properly supported:

56 Unusual transactions and accounts which indicate
abnormal operation of the bank

5.16.1 Cash transactions Formatted: Bullets and Numbering

We noted that the bank had customers who were making withdrawals in cash that we considered to
be high and/ or unusual. These transactions appeared to have no commercial substance as these
customers would deposit material sums described as cash deposits which would be followed by full
withdrawals on the same day.

The transactions were considered unusual due to the following:

• The cash withdrawals were high, averaging Shs 1 million

• Some of the accounts operated almost entirely on a cash basis for both deposits and
withdrawals

• The accounts had very high activity on some particular days during which large sums of
money would be deposited and withdrawn

The table below shows some of the accounts that exhibited the above characteristics. There are
numerous other accounts with such transactions which are described in the following sub-sections.

Transactions in these accounts have pointed to payments of cash that ends up in either Paolo
Sattanino’s account or at Paramount Bank Limited. These payments are summarised as follows:

• The transactions in these accounts indicate that cash is paid from the Fones Direct & Phones
Direct accounts into Intra Market Trading. From this account, the cash is then transferred to
Cashline Forex Bureau. The bureau then makes a transfer to Paramount Bank Limited;

• Brand Imports, Triton Petroleum, and Panorama Imports make transfers to Cashline Forex
Bureau account before it is transferred to Paramount Bank Limited. Brand Imports also
makes transfers to the Capricorn account;

• Kingsway makes payments to Paul Mburu who then makes transfers to Cargo Distributors
who in turn makes a transfer to Paolo Sattanino. Kingsway also makes direct transfers into
the Paolo Sattanino account;

• Creative Innovations makes payments to both the Paolo Sattanino and the Capricorn
accounts;

Report to the Statutory Manager, Charterhouse Bank “Under Statutory Management”
The credit balances in the Paolo Sattanino and Capricorn accounts are then transferred out of the
country through telegraphic transfers without supporting documents other than e-mail
correspondence from Paolo Sattanino. Some of the beneficiaries to which these funds are
transferred include the following:

i) Ettore Longo in Italy

ii) Hilda in Italy

iii) Tradex SRL

iv) Capricorn SRL

v) Parmex Limited directly or through Paolo Sattanino

vi) Others are Abdi and J Nyaga

Further investigations are required to understand why these funds are transferred and who the
ultimate beneficiaries are.

See Appendix V for further description of these relations.

Paolo Sattanino, based in Italy, is a customer of the bank who, over the years, has operated a
number of accounts at the bank. Paolo Sattanino’s account opening forms were not made available
for our review. We however noted that the accounts under this name received funds from other
customers of the bank. The account was credited on a regular basis with funds from various
customer accounts.

We noted the following anomalies in regard to this account:

• A number of companies and individuals such as Creative Innovations Limited, Brand Imports
Limited, Aua Industria Limited and Suresh Shah regularly transfer funds to Paolo Sattanino
and Capricorn SRL accounts in lots of US$ 10,000 or Euro equivalent. Refer to Section 3.3
for examples with regards to transaction splitting.

• There was e-mail correspondence from Paolo Sattanino directing the bank to transfer money
through telegraphic transfers outside the country. The transfers were not supported by
relevant documentation as required for transfers whose value is above US$ 10,000. Refer to
Appendix VI for money transferred from Paolo Sattanino’s accounts.

PricewaterhouseCoopers Project Fabio 23


Report to the Statutory Manager, Charterhouse Bank “Under Statutory Management”
• We noted instances where Paolo gave instructions to the bank to transfer funds but to
indicate the remitter as a different entity or individual. This would amount to falsifications of
the declarations made and the bank would be guilty of facilitating false declarations. For some
of these transfers, the TT confirmations supporting the transactions were not made available.
These have also been summarised as part of Appendix VI.

• There are indications of possible account splitting to avoid providing documentation in support
of the transactions by ensuring that the values were at US$ 10,000 or less.

• For some of the sampled transactions in the Paolo Sattanino accounts, customer instructions
were not provided for our review. These have also been summarised in Appendix VI.

We have included some e-mail correspondences in respect of these accounts under Appendix F.

5.2.36.2.3 Dilpun Shah Group
During the course of our work, we noted various accounts that appeared to be operated by one
person. There were transactions in these accounts that linked them to a certain Dilpun Shah. A
number of payments made from these accounts related to overseas payments through the accounts
of Paolo Sattanino.

The deposit slips into these accounts appeared to share the same handwriting pointing to the
possibility that these accounts were being operated by one person or by a small group of people.
See Appendix G.

5.36.3 Odesys Enterprises account CA 01-000740 Formatted: Bullets and Numbering

Odesys Enterprises is a sole proprietorship account that was opened by a Mr. Felix Odemba Nabuko
whose address was indicated as P.O. Box 25 Butere, Maramba, Shibembe. The account was
opened on 25 Aug 2005 and the account opening forms contain no details regarding his business.

The account opening forms indicate that Felix was introduced to the bank by an existing customer of
the bank, a Mr. Dilpun Shah. Our reviews revealed that Dilpun is a director of Brand Imports, Fones
Direct and Phones Express all of whom had accounts at the bank as at 23 June 2006.

Over the 10 months’ period to 23 June 2006, the account’s turnover was Shs 554,842,767 debits
and Shs 566,256,592 credits. The account also had significant cash deposits accompanied by
withdrawals of similar amounts on the same day. These transactions appear to have no commercial
rationale and are inconsistent with a business operating from Butere. The following matters were
noted:

• The turnover is high for a trader in Butere and the account needs to be investigated further for
tax compliance;

• A majority of the transactions are in cash which is unusual especially for a business in Butere,
in Western province where the bank has no branch operations;

• There were significant cash payments on particular dates, pointing to the possibility that the
account was being used for other purposes.

The table below shows a sample of some of the transactions recorded in the account showing cash
receipts and payments.

5.46.4 Use of sundry creditors account Formatted: Bullets and Numbering

The bank maintains a sundry creditors account in its general ledger. A review of this account
indicates that it is used for various kinds of transactions. These include the following

• Call and fixed deposits, once matured are credited into this account before being paid out to
depositors;

• Upcountry cheques are also posted through this account until they clear at which point they
are posted into the customer account;

• Cash transfers from branches to the head office are also posted into this account

• We have also noted instances where transactions described as ‘cash withdrawal’ were traced
to this account pointing to the possibility that there were no actual cash withdrawals.

The first three transaction types above would be normal in a sundry creditors / clearing account,
where amounts are expected to clear within a short period. However, our concern is that this
account may be used to mask other transactions, in particular transfers between customer accounts.
From the above, we propose that any further investigation should also include a detailed review of
this account to establish the nature of transactions recorded in it.

5.4.16.4.1 Sailesh Prajapati – Account CA 01 -000148 Formatted: Bullets and Numbering

The account was opened on 8 January 1999 and closed on 2 August 2004. There are no account
opening forms and there were no details of the mandates to operate the account within the banking
system. We were therefore unable to establish the background details relating to this account.

During this period, the account debit turnover was Shs 2.2 billion. We were also not able to establish

Report to the Statutory Manager, Charterhouse Bank “Under Statutory Management”
From our detailed review of the account, we noted some transactions we considered unusual as
described below.

i) Amounts debited into this account as ‘cash withdrawals’ were traced to the Sundry creditors
account No. 01-600000 in the general ledger. Cash may have never left the bank although
the entries in the account are described as if cash was paid out;

ii) Numerous transactions of exactly the same amounts. There were over 1,300 cash deposits of
Shs 1 million each out of 1,570 total credits during the period. Of the remaining credits, Shs
105 million was received from Nakumatt in 28 equal transactions of Shs 3.76 million each;

iii) Other unusual transactions were made of what was described as loan proceeds from other
accounts whose relationship with the Prajapati account we were not able to confirm.

iv) All the Shs 1 million deposits mentioned above were in cash, which is unusual for a trading
account.

v) The account has numerous credits described as cash receipts. Based on the ‘cash
withdrawals’ traced to the sundry creditors account, the ‘cash receipts’ may also not relate to
actual cash received.

The table below shows some of the credits into the account described as ‘loan proceeds’ and which
may require further investigations.

Transacting business in cash throughout the history of the account is considered unusual. We
recommend that further investigations are carried out.

A review of the sundry creditors account however shows entries described as reversals for some of
these transactions. These ‘reversals’ however are not reflected on the Sailesh account pointing to
the possibility that the descriptions are misleading.

Report to the Statutory Manager, Charterhouse Bank “Under Statutory Management”
We recommend this account for further investigations due to the following reasons:

i) We traced the corresponding entries of the instalment repayments to the sundry creditors
account no. SC 01-600000. This is considered unusual since repayments would either be
cash/cheque deposits or transfers from another of the customer’s accounts.

ii) We traced the movement of the above instalments to the Kingsway Mart Limited account CA
01-000564 from where transfers were made to the Sundry creditors account SC 01-600000.

iii) The unusually speedy repayments of the loan raise queries as to the source of the cash since
loans are generally repaid over a longer period of time. This is especially so if taken in the
context of the credits coming from the sundry creditors account to clear the loan.

iv) The loan agreements and other correspondences with this customer were not made available
to us.

We have also noted that in August 2004, the Parmex current account CA 01-000193 received a
credit of Shs 23 million from the loan account LN 01-300793 discussed above. Within four days of
this receipt, Shs 22.7 million was debited from this account and described as ‘cash paid’. No
supporting documents were made available by the time of writing this report.

We have summarised these transactions in the table below:

As noted in the preceding paragraphs on the Crucial Properties Limited accounts, some significant
amounts were paid out of these accounts in the form of demand drafts, We did not obtain details of
who the beneficiaries were. However, we have noted that some new accounts were opened and
credited with amounts described as ‘proceeds of draft’ just about 6 months after the demand drafts
totalling Shs 1.4 billion were paid out of the Crucial Properties Limited account No. FX 01-400067.

Report to the Statutory Manager, Charterhouse Bank “Under Statutory Management”
The payments of Shs 1.4 billion in the Crucial Properties account had been described as demand
drafts, ‘DD’s.

We have summarised three such accounts that we identified in the table below. The entries in these
accounts are described as “proceeds from draft” and the amounts are almost equal to some of the
drafts issued against the Crucial Properties account.

Account Date account Amount

Wallance Holdings Limited 01-400086 07-Nov-2001 54,572,546

We note the following in respect of these accounts:

• There are no supporting documents for the transactions as the documents are said to have
been lost in a fire of September 2004.

• These accounts were opened and closed within a short time indicating that they were
operated to achieve some particular purpose;

• The amounts are almost equivalent in value to some individual drafts paid out of the Crucial
Properties Limited account No. FX 01-400067 in May 2001,, although we have not been
able to match them due to lack of supporting documentation.

It is therefore possible that the payments to these accounts relate to the drafts issued out of the
Crucial Properties Limited account. We therefore recommend that these accounts be further
investigated and that other accounts opened and operated around November 2001 be included as
part of these investigations.

From the table above, the following can be noted;

• On 12 February 2001, Shs 46,695,000 was received into this account and Shs 22,515,000
was paid out. The following day, 13 February 2001, Shs 263,500,000 was received (equivalent
of US$ 3,400,000) and Shs 276,125,000 paid out;

• The payments noted above comprised the following: Shs 140 million was described as
payments to a GK Williams, Shs 80 million was described as paid to Crescent Constructions;
and Shs 128 million was shown as payments to Kariuki Muigua, out of which Shs 100 million
was reversed on 22 February 2001;

• The description in the Kariuki Muigua & Co Clients A/C No. 2 – A/C FX 01-400069 shows the
debits as if they were sale of currency. This could be misleading and may have been aimed at
concealing the actual transfer from one account to another. There may be a link with the
amounts transferred out of the Crucial Properties Limited account

• The funds that were credited into this account were paid out almost immediately through what
are described in the account as bankers cheques or cash withdrawals.

We recommend further investigations to establish the nature of these transactions, especially on the
two days above.

These transactions have been considered unusual due to the following:

• There are transactions of almost similar amounts in another account belonging to Kariuki
Muigua & Co. Advocates. This indicates that the transactions described as cash may have
been transfers and not actual cash. See Section 5.6.2.1 for further details.

• The transactions are of very high value in nature and are around the same period (September
and October 2005).

• Most of the transactions are described as cash paid/ deposits which is unusual since they are
very high-value transactions to be conducted in cash.

5.6.3.46.6.3.4 Kingsway Tyres Limited – University Way Branch A/C CA 01-700226 Formatted: Bullets and Numbering

Supporting documents for some large foreign currency transactions were not provided by the time of
writing this report. The transactions related to inward and outward telegraphic transfers (TTs) in the
Kingsway Tyres Limited account CA 01-700226. We have summarised in the table below the
transactions as identified from review of the Nostro accounts ledger statements, the daily transaction
journals as well as this Kingsway account.

From the review of this customer account, the following matters were noted:

• An inward TT of GBP 500,000 was received into this account on 25 October 2005;

• On 26 October 2005, there were outward TTs totalling to GBP 500,000. These appear to
have been misreported in the CBK returns, described as a payment by Triton although no
debit was traced to the Triton accounts held in the bank. The funds seem to relate to the TT
received the previous day but declared to CBK as Kingsway loan drawdown.

• On 8 November 2005, an amount of GBP 250,000 was received through the Canara Bank
and an equivalent amount was wired out 3 days later.

For these transactions, we could not confirm whether they had been reported to CBK since the
returns for these days were not made available.

In our review of transactions carried out by the bank through their correspondent banks, we identified
significant transfers into and out of these accounts. Our efforts to review these transactions were not
successful. This was due to the following:

• The internal documentation for 26 October 2005 during which a lot of large transactions took
place was not provided. The documents missing included the customer instructions, the
telegraphic transfers and the daily transaction journal for 26 October 2005,;

• The Nostro bank statements were also not provided and we could therefore obtain external
evidence of the transmission instructions

During the two days in October 2005, we also noted large transfers into and out of one of the
Kingsway Tyres Limited GBP account (See 5.6.3.4 for further details).

5.86.8 Payments for insurance premiums Formatted: Bullets and Numbering

We noted that there were significant transfers of foreign currency from the Kingsway accounts which
were described as settlement of insurance premiums for the directors and their families. The
documents used to process these payments did not appear to be from the insurance company as we
noted the following:

• The amounts being transferred do not agree with the premium documents supporting the
payments in respect to the premium payable.

• The name of the insurance company was written in short form on what should be official
documents;

• The premium documents were not on the letterhead of the insurance company;

5.96.9 Accounts operated outside their mandates Formatted: Bullets and Numbering

We noted that some accounts were operated without proper mandates. Instances were noted where
instructions were received from individuals other than those who are recorded in the system as the
proper signatories and there were no records indicating that the persons giving the instructions had
any relations to those accounts.

A review of the daily transaction journals showed that on 25 May 2006, Shs 2 million was paid out to
Monia Posti from the account of Italian Styles Limited (A/C 01-000249). The support for this
transaction was an e-mail correspondence from the CB Mega branch manager to the Operations
manager indicating that the amount had been paid out in cash. This indicates that the account
mandates were ignored and there is no evidence that the customer actually received the cash.

5.106.10 Alterations to customer instructions Formatted: Bullets and Numbering

We have, during the course of our investigations come across numerous cheques whose details
have been altered on the face without being counter-signed. The changes made on the cheques had
the potential impact of making the cheques invalid. However, all these changes were accepted by
the bank and the transactions processed through the customer accounts. The alterations made
related to ‘blacking out’ the name of the drawer and replacing it with another hand-written name.

Once the details of the drawer have been altered, the account number of the customer would also be
blacked out and the new account number handwritten. We consider these alterations irregular.

Report to the Statutory Manager, Charterhouse Bank “Under Statutory Management”
5.116.11 Foreign currency accounts maintained in Kenya Shillings Formatted: Bullets and Numbering

The bank maintained various types of accounts. Once such account type related to accounts
denoted as FX 01-4xxxxx. As of 23 June 2006, there were no accounts denoted in this manner. Our
review revealed the following peculiarities in the way these accounts were operated:

• From the samples reviewed, the accounts denoted FX 01-4xxxxx existing as at 1 April 2004
were all closed on that date;

• These accounts were reported in Kenya Shillings but the transactions were recorded in
various foreign currencies;

• There were revaluation gains/ losses posted into these accounts periodically;

• Most of the transactions on these accounts were described as cash transactions.

The table below shows examples of these accounts:

5.126.12 Matters noted on review of fixed and call deposits Formatted: Bullets and Numbering

5.12.16.12.1 Fixed deposit accounts with debit balances Formatted: Bullets and Numbering

A review of the history of the bank’s fixed deposit accounts indicates that the running balances of
some of the accounts were in debit, which is unusual. We also noted that the roll-over details of the
deposits appeared unusual since the entire deposits were being credited to the account repeatedly
without being retired. It is not clear whether cash was actually received each time the account was
credited. Interest was being credited to these accounts even where their status was in debit.

These unusual scenarios point to the possibility that the deposits may be inaccurate, incomplete, or
may not actually exist. It is also possible that such debit balances may have been created to facilitate
payments to other accounts or out of the bank. The accounts having this peculiarity mainly relate to
directors of the bank and other related companies.

We have summarised some of the accounts which operated as debit balances below. Most of these
accounts were eventually turned into credit balances by 23 June 2006.

These accounts need to be investigated to establish the following:

• Why the opening balances were in debit and when these debit balances arose;

• Why the accounts showed repetitive deposits renewals without the maturing deposits being
retired;

• Why, unlike other fixed deposit accounts where a new account is created to facilitate a
rollover of a matured deposit, no new accounts were opened for these accounts.

5.12.26.12.2 Fixed and call deposit accounts operated and closed without being credited with interest
Whereas fixed deposits are ordinarily interest-earning, we noted that some accounts were operated
and closed without any interest being credited into them. This would indicate possibilities that not all
interest expenses incurred by the bank have been recorded in the past. In addition, the account may
have been used for a purpose other than as fixed deposits.

67 Other accounts with unusual transactions
6.17.1 Creative Innovations Limited
The shareholders of Creative Innovations Limited are Sailesh K Shah (who is a director of the
company together with Kamal R Shah) and Kingsway Investments Limited. Creative Innovations
Limited is therefore related to the Kingsway Group.

During our review of the accounts operated by Creative Innovations at CB, we have noted the
matters below which may require further investigation:

• Transfers made to Paolo Sattanino account. See Section 5.2.2

• We noted possible splitting of accounts where there were several foreign currency payments
made to PIL K Limited; See Appendix III;

• Transfers made to Capricorn SRL account. See Appendix V.

The Creative Innovations account receives most of its credits from the Nakumatt Holdings account
CA 01-000085. In 2003, over Shs 136 million was received while Shs 212 million was received in
2004 and Shs 641 million between 1 January 2005 and 23 June 2006.

Nakumatt’s involvement with Creative Innovations and ultimately Paolo Sattanino, whose
transactions appear unusual / irregular, needs to be investigated.

6.27.2 Abdul Qadir Alladina and Mohammed Yusuf – CA 07-600807 Formatted: Bullets and Numbering

In February 2006, a US dollar account was opened by Mr Abdul Quadir Alladina and Mr Mohamed
Yusuf. The account opening forms indicated the account holders were pensioners, There was an
inward telegraphic transfer (TT) of USD 187,392 on 06 March 2006. The TT reference was 167.

On 6 April 2006, a TT (Ref: TTFX 664) of USD 185,000 was transferred through the Amex Nostro
A/C to Deutsche Bank Trust Company for the credit of Paramount Universal Bank. The further credit
was for Mr Alladina Abdul Quadir, Paramount Bank Westlands Branch. See Appendix K.

There have been very few other transactions in this account subsequently. We recommend further
investigations to establish the nature of these transactions.

most unexpected of a trading account and the transactions may therefore not have any commercial
rationale. Examples of such accounts are:

further investigations be carried out to establish the nature of these transactions.

6.47.4 Triton Petroleum Company Limited A/C no. 01-000352 Formatted: Bullets and Numbering

We noted various large transfers to Sonal Devani’s accounts (various fixed deposits) from the Triton
Petroleum account. We requested for but were not provided with the account opening forms for the
Sonal Devani accounts for our review. We also noted that there were no picture and signature
images of the customer in the bank’s core operating system Equinox.

For the fixed deposits, we did not obtain any evidence that these were supported by authorisation
from the customer. We have listed some of these transfers below:

• We were not provided with the customer instructions for the opening of these accounts;

• The accounts are in the names of accounts that have been identified for other unusual

transaction
Fictitious Deposit A fictitious deposit certificate for Ksh. 10 million, not supported by
funds, was issued to a friend of the managing director in 2000. The
friend filed a suit in the High Court against the bank, under unclear
circumstances, and the Court ordered the bank to honour its “liability”.
This made the bank lose Ksh. 17.22 million, inclusive of interest.

Hotel Sirikwa Out of a cheque of over ksh. 52 million,, in favour of Hotel Sirikwa, a
subject of a court order, ksh. 40 million was hurriedly paid with the
assistance of the bank even before it was cleared, despite the bank
having been served with the court order.

foreign company company, Tradex srl. Whereas funds were transmitted to Paolo, no
records of such a loan exist in the bank.
Lions Club of Ethiopia . The documentation relating to the opening of the account was
CA 01-600173 incomplete as there were no resolutions by the trustees (or equivalent)
of Lions Club of Ethiopia to open the account

. GBP 400 was transferred from this account to Miss Priyum Shah
(National Westminster Bank Plc), a daughter of Manoj Shah

. US$ 30,200 was paid from this account in cash to Helen Kadri Bandi -
ID 13370468 on 19 May 2006. The payment instructions were not in
the institution's letterhead but rather comprised an invoice from

Eunice Wairimu Wambugu - ID 9256544 without instructions from Lion

with new hand-written names and numbers. Most of the transactions
involving de-faced cheques related to unusual transactions majority

payments to and from customers’ accounts. Some of these unusual
transactions include the following:

. Loan repayments for a purported loan granted to Parmex Limited,


originated from the Sundry creditors account. There is no evidence for
the source of these funds. Likewise a purported loan account of one,
Sailesh Prajapati received credits described as loan proceeds from

APPENDIX 16

TAX EVASION AND OTHER IRREGULARITIES


Mechanisms were devised to assist certain local companies (“importers”) to evade taxes such as import duty, excise duty and VAT (“Taxes”). Based on the
e-mails and other records, entities involved in such tax evasion include, but not limited, to the following:

λ Kingsway Tyres Limited/Kingsway Tyre and Automart Ltd (“KTL”)

λ Creative Innovations Ltd

λ Bachu Industries

λ Brand Imports Ltd

λ Cargo Distributors

λ Aua Industria Ltd

λ Hidden Treasures

λ Books First

λ Motorline (in Mombasa)

λ Shift Cargo Ltd

λ Africa Media Group Ltd-Tanzania

λ Transcargo Ltd-Tanzania

Such evasion of taxes would be facilitated by the involvement of 6 off-shore companies namely:

λ Tradex SRL (“Tradex”) in Italy


λ Capricorn SRL (“Capricorn”) in Italy

λ Parmex Limited (“Parmex”) in the UK

λ Parmar General Trading LLC (“PGT”) in Dubai

λ Epsom Holdings Corporation ( “Epsom”) in Liechtenstein and

λ Foreman Corporation (“Foreman”) in Belize

The diagram below illustrates the activities and parties involved in the importation of goods, the payment of these and
documents used for the payment of taxes on the importation.

Payment of duties based on etc
under-valued invoices

Key features are:

3
λ Suppliers invoice the off-shore companies for the goods supplied to the importers who are customers of Charterhouse Bank Limited
(CHB)
λ Off-shore companies provide undervalued pro forma invoices and/or commercial invoices to the importers for purposes of IDF
declaration on the value of goods imported and therefore taxes payable
λ Importers remit funds to the off-shore companies for the goods supplied by:

− remitting foreign currency monies into Paolo and Capricorn bank accounts at CHB which is then remitted to Tradex and
Capricorn (on Paolo’s instructions) without appropriate supporting documents and

− direct payments to the off-shore companies.

λ Remitters would instruct Paolo on what to do with the payments remitted. Since purchase of amounts above US$10,000 requires
supporting documents, the remittances into Paolo’s accounts (either by cash or transfers from account holders at CHB) are in most
cases in tranches of US$10,000 or equivalent in other currencies.

A description of each of the off-shore companies, their activities and involvement in the process is as follows:

Tradex and Capricorn in Italy

λ These two companies are in Italy and are represented by a Mr Paolo Sattanino. (“ Paolo”).
λ Paolo maintains 7 personal accounts at CHB ( Sterling Pound, Euro, US$ and KShs )
λ Capricorn has 4 bank accounts (2 Euros and 2 US$) at CHB
λ Paolo facilitates the documentation, inspection, shipment and payment on behalf of the importers of goods to the exporters.
Negotiations and identification of suppliers is often done by the importers directly. Key importers are KTL for tyres, rims and other
accessories, Creative Innovations Ltd for furniture and electrical accessories and Hidden Treasures for books.
λ Paolo provides under valued pro forma invoices, blank invoices and commercial invoices as required by the importers to evade import
taxes. Instructions in respect of these requirements are from Sanjay. Paolo makes payments to suppliers and others on instructions of
Sanjay and the importers
λ There is evidence of an agreement by Sanjay to pay Paolo 0.5% profit/commission on the FOB values from the suppliers
λ Monies are remitted into Paolo’s various accounts at CHB by the importers and other individuals. Paolo maintains accounts of the
remitters and provides statement of accounts to them. These statements indicate payments received from them, debit notes sent and

4
payments made on their behalf. Since the purchase of amounts above US$10,000 requires supporting documents, the remittances into
Paolo’s accounts (either by cash or transfers from account holders at CB) is almost always in tranches of US$10,000 or equivalent in
other currencies
λ Monies from Paolo’s and Capricorn accounts are then remitted mainly to Tradex and Capricorn on instructions from Paolo without
supporting documentation.

Paolo’s bank accounts at CHB

The table below is a summary of the following:

Examples of Paolo’s e-mail communication

Below are examples of e-mail communication between Paolo and Sanjay and other remitters to his account:

• Paolo to Amar Taylor of Aua Industria dated 11 October 2005


“Apparently you have paid US$62,000 to Tradex Italy wherein was expecting the same to be paid in Kenya with CB!! ………please
never pay to Italy unless we agree first!! “ This money was paid directly to Italy by a Mr Paresh Shah (US$39,982.50) and Mr Palvi
Patel (US$21,982.50)

• Paolo to Sanjay regarding Aku of Brand Imports dated 16 November 2005


“ ….aku has given instructions to Charterhouse to remit to Tradex Italy Euro 39,228.18-That is fine for me but can you make sure
no sender neither details will appear on the TT!!. reason is, i do not have any official outstanding on my books with Brand imp”
Sanjay responded on 17 Nov 2005 “We will not put name on your Euro Credit on the statement|”

• Sanjay to Paolo dated 7 July 2005


“ Kindly note the above amount has been remitted to your account by Hon Kabogo” The amount is Euros 5,270

• Paolo to Sanjay dated 13 September 2005


“I have asked Suresh to pay 100,000 Euros to tradex to be able to pay his suppliers. I do not know whether he needs to pay the
same to my account in Kenya or not…….in case he wants to go through my Charterhouse account, please make sure this will not
be done in one lot……..”

Parmex and PGT


λ Parmex is a company registered in the UK and PGT in Dubai. It appears that there is common ownership interest in these two
companies by the Parmar family which actively manages these companies. The UK Company is actively managed by Mr D.Parmar and
Mr S. Parmar and the Dubai business by Mr B.Parmar and Mr C. Parmar (son of B.Parmar).
λ There is evidence of an agreement by Sanjay to pay Parmex 0.5% profit/commission on the FOB values from the suppliers.
λ Parmex and PGT facilitate the documentation including providing pro forma invoices for the purpose of import declaration, inspection,
shipment and payment on behalf of the importers of goods to the exporters. This arrangement is similar to that of Paolo of Tradex but in
this case Paolo often does the administrative work and also issues Parmex Ltd invoices to KTL and other importers. Key importers are
KTL and Creative Innovations Ltd.

9
λ KTL purchases tyres mainly from Transityres in Europe in the name of Parmex. Transityres invoices Parmex which in turn invoices KTL
and sends both of these invoices to KTL.
λ Sanjay provides guidance on the activities and trading of Parmex and has arranged securities for loan facilities to Parmex’s lenders.
Parmex had loan facilities of about US$4.4m October 2004 at AMN Amro, guaranteed by personal deposits of Sanjay Shah/Manoj
Shah/Manish Shah.

Other activities of Parmex and PGT

Local sales paid off-shore

There is evidence that sales made locally by KTL to buyers such as Transenergy (K) Ltd in Mombasa, RT (East Africa) Ltd and Bachu
Industries are paid for in Dubai to PGT by the purchasers E.g. a local sale of US$181,936 to Transenergy was paid for by Transenergy’s
office in Dubai to PGT by way of 4 equal post dated cheques. Similarly another local sale to Transenergy of US$ 56,880 was paid for in
Dubai to PGT and in this particular instance 2 invoices seem to have been raised by Kingsway Tyre and Automart. One for US$ value to
PGT since they asked for an invoice to be accounted for in their books and another local invoice to Transenergy. It is therefore likely that
this method of invoicing and direct off-shore payments/receipts could result in under-reported revenues by KTL.

Payment of personal and friends bills

Certain personal bills and of parties related/associated to Sanjay are received by Parmex and paid on Sanjay’s approval. These include
bills for credit cards, Amex card bills for Mr Harun Mwau and safe deposit box rentals. D.Parmar notified Sanjay of receiving John Harun’s
Amex bill of ₤9,086 and the need to pay this bill.

Local Payments on behalf of PGT

Often payments are made locally by Sanjay on behalf of PGT on instructions of Mr B. Parmar. The equivalent of the local amounts in US$
is credited to the relevant accounts such as KTL or Creative Innovations Ltd account in Dubai. Examples include:

λ Payment of US$10,000 made to Mr Jaffer and Creative Innovations Ltd account credited in Dubai

10
λ KShs 1,152,540 paid to Mr Gulam Abbas and Creative Innovations Ltd account credited in Dubai
λ US$10,000 and KShs 449,580 paid to Mr Gulam Abbas and KTL account credited with US$16,000 in Dubai

Receiving payments from Paolo on behalf of KTL

Paolo maintains a trading current account with Parmex. Often Sanjay requests Paolo to instruct Parmex to debit Paolo’s account in its
books and credit the KTL account with the same. In return KTL credits Paolo’s US$ account at CB. E.g. a US$100,000 transfer from
Paolo’s account into KTL account in Parmex books was re-imbursed to Paolo in his US$ account at CB by way of 10 tranches of
US$10,000 so as to avoid any documentation as required by CBK.

Receiving payments for various third parties

Various payments were received into the Parmex account at CB from individuals, CB and likely customers of KTL. It seems there were
private arrangements made by Sanjay with the remitters to have funds remitted to Parmex. Further investigations are required to
understand the completeness of these transactions i.e. the authenticity of the remitters and the reasons for remitting monies to Parmex.

Epsom Holdings and Foreman Corporation

It appears that these are not trading companies. There were proforma invoices from these two companies for the supply of books to Books
First and Hidden Treasures. Paolo of Tradex arranged for the shipment of the books and asked Sanjay in an e-mail dated 15 December 2003
what invoices to use for this consignment and Sanjay responded on 17 December 2003 asking to use any of the two companies, Epsom or
Foreman. Further investigation would be appropriate in order to verify the consignment of books to Books First and Hidden Treasures and
establish the payments made by Books First and Hidden Treasures in respect of this consignment and the taxes paid.

Taxes (Import duty, Excise duty, VAT) paid

There is evidence of activities that strongly suggest the possibility of underpayment of taxes by the importers that Sanjay is associated with.
These activities entail:

λ Preparing under-valued proforma and commercial invoices for purposes of IDF declaration on the value of goods imported
λ Obtaining blank invoices from suppliers and Paolo of Tradex with the intention of undervaluing goods imported in order to pay lower
taxes.
λ Disguising or not appropriately describing the goods imported

The table below illustrates the under-statement of invoices on imported goods for purposes of IDF declaration with the objective of evading the
import related taxes.

Other tax matters


Company revenue banked into personal account

There is evidence that rebates and marketing budgets for KTL in Nairobi from Transityres (KTL supplier ) in Europe is received into the
personal accounts of Sanjay Shah/Manoj Shah/ Manish Shah at Citibank (A/C No 305723) on the instructions of Sanjay Shah. These amounts
are Euros 37,800 (19/8/05) and Euros 12,779 (26/9/05) for the marketing budget and US$ 133,070 (July 2005) for the rebate.

E-mail communication indicating intention to evade tax

There is evidence in the form of e-mail communication that indicates intention to evade tax. We state as is some of these e-mail
communication below:

• From Bhavesh Patel of Creative Communication to dated 14 February 2006:

“We are still waiting for your advice on how to make invoices for 130m which is still pending as at today”

• From Sanjay to Hamed of Village Market dated 18 October 2005:

20
“ ……Thereafter we request Patrionics to prepare a new bill with just the wordings Hotel Project and would save us from VAT
element”

• From D.Ghosh of Greenhills Investment (Sanjay is a director of this company) and Market Master to Sanjay dated 10 June 2004:

“ As you know that Molla and Naombi were doing PAYE Tax audit for Green Hills Investments and Market Masters for the years
1999 to 2003. They have finished and given the cert for Market Masters for the above period without any problems. But Greenhill
they have done their reconciliations and showing around 3 to 4 million in salary which was not taxed. As advised by Mr Hamed
they will come to see you with all the details. ……….”.

• From Bhavesh Patel to Sanjay sending calculations done by KRA on tax payable by S K D Shah and R Shah dated 9 May 2005:

“Please see these attachments. I have not understood their calculations. I think these people are mad. The amounts they are
asking us to pay is so crazy. Anway, please give me advice on what I should do with these idiots”

• From Sailesh Shah of Creative Innovations Ltd forwarding an e-mail of Creative Innovations Ltd employee to Sanjay dated 10 January
2005

“ Sanjay for your info and guidance …… It seems things are getting difficult.

Contents of e-mails being forwarded is “ As you are aware, recently we have got ourselves in trouble with BV and customs due to
documentation declarations. We believe Melvin has briefed you on what counter measure we took in order to get the containers
moving and meet BV requirements. We need to highlight to you that we actually put ourselves at risk by sorting the documents
with customs. We have consulted our group Financial Controller who gave his personal guarantee to the customs and also paid
some fees to the customs officers which we will need you to assist in paying…………… This is not healthy for KHIND as a public
listed company and if we are found out to do double declaration, we will be black listed by the customs and our export licence
might be suspended………………….”

• From Paolo a memo to Amin and Manoj Shah of KTL dated 4 October 2004. Below is relevant extraction from the memo

“As agreed with Kumho will make shipment of the goods in the following manner

For all passenger and light truck sizes (those not listed in the Pro-forma Invoice No……) will be shipped without any inspection
and in the following manner…………………………… Description: General Merchandise

21
For all Truck Tyre sizes, the following methodically will be used……………….. At the time of loading Kumho must ensure that
Bureau Veritas present to do a physical count as per packing list(VERY INPORTANT ONLYPACKING LIST TO BEDECLARED
TO BUREAU VERITAS as pricing is between Parmex and KingswayTyres nothing to do with Kumho”

• From Rakesh Singla of KTL to Sanjay dated 23 April 2005 on suggestions to evade tax on Kamal Properties Ltd, a company in which
Sanjay is a both a shareholder and a director. The detailed suggestion to evade tax include :

1. Plan to create expenses such as repairs and maintenance, salaries and interest to reduce rental income and

2. Plan to show rental income at lower level which include asking for rent in two parts (cash and cheque) at the time of
negotiation

• From Paolo to Sanjay dated 17 March 2004:

“I keep on receiving from Bureau Veritas requests for inspection for tyres tube and flap on Wilson logistics/Capricorn etc etc of
course all of them have been applied by Cargo Distributors!!!! I do not know what to say to them since they want to inspect the
goods. Please let me know.”

It is possible that Paolo means that using Cargo Distributors Ltd as the consignee was creating a problem with the inspectors such that
they inspected the shipment where the consignee was. It appears that as a result of this concern, the consignee for the pending
shipment was changed to Nairobi Procurements Ltd and the shippers advised accordingly by Paolo.

deceased and has no one to claim the balance. We would like to close the account and credit the balance to our income account”

The response from David Okinda dated 13 March 2006 was:


“ The account has been activated”

Based on the above, it is possible that CB has the practice of taking into its income account the unclaimed deceased monies. Further
investigation work needs to be done to establish this.

Transactions on verbal instructions


• E-mail from Fred Shitakha of CB Mega Branch to Arun Jain regarding CA 01-000249 Italian Stlyes Ltd dated 25 May 2006:
“As per our telephone conversation, I have paid cash Kes 2,000,000/= from the above account to Monia Posti. Please be advised “

Arun responded on the same day as “OK confirmed”

Further investigation is required to establish if the above transaction was ever supported by appropriate documents and accounting entries
and to establish if there CB has a trend of carrying out banking activities on verbal instructions of its management.

Large amounts of cash remitted to PGT through Central Forex Bureau


• E-mail from B.Parmer of PGT to Sanjay dated 14 October 2004:

“Please apply this to clear off the transactions for the cheque you had issued on behalf of John Harun for AED 200,000”

23

Bank certificate for the purpose of obtaining Visas


Purnima Shah works at CB in Kisumu. She wrote an e-mail on 10 May 2006 addressed as “Dear Mr Shah”. It is not clear who the e-mail is
sent to. She requested for a certificate of KShs 7m to enable her show this to the Australian High Commission for the purpose of obtaining
visas for her two sons. The extract of her e-mail is as follows:

“Dear Mr Shah,

……………………. I need assistance for my two sons. They have been selected for higher studies in Australia. To enable them us to
obtain VISA, Australian High Commission wants a statement for Ksh7 Million.

I would request you if you could issue me a certificate for KSh7 Million only as a matter of record and for their VISA purpose. I am
ready to produce any documents that you want for that. …………………………… As you know as a salaried individual, it is difficult
for us to accumulate Ksh 7 Million and show in savings or deposit account…………………… Sincerely yours Purnima Shah”

Further investigations is required to establish if a bank certificated was issued from CB to the Australian High Commission for the purpose of
obtaining Visas and if so, how this was accounted for in the records of CHB.

Indication to reword loans given so as to disguise violation of CBK regulations on lending limitation based on the share capital of
CHB.
There is an e-mail dated 14 March 2006 from unknown sender as follows:

“Sanjay we need to re-word the I st para as the bank can not lend 193. something like “including the deposit of Ksh.80m”

Sanjay responded on 15 March 2006 to unknown recipient as follows:

24
“ ………………………….b) or we redo and give another letter. We just need to be careful that we do not state we are loaning 193
million as we cannot under the CBK Act, as our share capital isn’t sufficient. We can state that we undertake to pay 193 million which
is different from we loaning 193million. ……………………………………..”

Dear Sir

RE: IN THE MATTER OF THE PERSONAL SECURITY OF PETER GEORGE


ODHIAMBO AND TITUS MWIRIGI RELATING TO EVENTS SORROUNDING
CHARTERHOUSE BANK.

We acknowledge receipt of your letter on the above subject dated 19th July 2006 the
contents of which we have noted.

Your contention that we have condemned and scandalized you and the fellow directors of
Charterhouse Bank without due recourse to the rules of natural justice has profoundly
surprised us. We therefore invite you to read yet again our letter of the 12th July 2006
upon which you should notice that the only concern we have with the Police
Commissioner is the personal safety and security of Messrs Peter Odhiambo and Titus
Mwirigi.

We do reiterate as a matter of fact that Mr. Peter Odhiambo has since ih- July 2006
received a lot of telephone calls from people warning him of their capabilities to harm
him on account of the events that surround Charterhouse Bank. Peter Odhiambo 's and
Titus Mwirigis fears for their safety are real and not flights offancy.

We take this opportunity to clarify further our involvement in this matter which is also
premised on Mr. Odhiambo's attempted arrest by police officers relying on documents
that had not been executed by the present Charterhouse Statutory Manager Mrs. Rose
Detho. This is the basis upon which we asked the Commissioner of Police to investigate
how officers from Central Police Station could purport to effect an arrest based on non-
authentic and unenforceable documents.

From the foregoing, by a copy of this letter, we are forwarding to the Commissioner of
Police the names of the two officers from Central Police Station who went to the Central
Bank of Kenya and attempted to arrest Mr. Odhiambo on 7th July 2006 as:
i) Superintendent Muya Nyale the District Criminal Investigations Officer
(DCIO),
ii) Inspector Jaliwa.

Sincerely

Maina Kiai

ATTENTION: MAINA KIAI


Dear Sir,

RE: IN THE MATTER OF YOUR LETTER REF: KNCHR/COF/47 DATED 12th


JULY 2006.

The vision of the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) is to


create a strong vibrant human rights culture founded on equality and social justice
for all. The KNCHR prides itself of being possessed of eight core values:

1. Independence
2. Accessibility
3. Humility
4. Professionalism
5. Gender diversity equity and equality
6. Accountability
7. Participation
8. People centred approach.

By employing these core values, KNCHR seeks to upon receipt of a complaint


conduct investigations and where necessary seek redress on behalf of an
individual or group.

- 1-
Having stated the above, we hereby acknowledge receipt of your letter Ref:
KNCHR/COF/47 dated iz" July 2006 on which is appended the signature of Mr.
Maina Kiai the Chairman of KNCHR.

We would like to start by pointing out that the directors of Charterhouse Bank to
whom you have addressed individually the said letter are perturbed, stunned and
greatly concerned especially by the contents of your last but one paragraph which
states:
tlMay we also add that should anything untoward compromise
the safety and security of Mr. Odhiambo or Mr. Mwirigi, then
suspicion witt remain that those responsible are the owners of
Charterhouse Bank, their agents and/or some elements within
the police force. 11

Equally flabbergasting are the contents particularly those of your 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th,
th
11 , 1~th and 13th paragraphs which state:

"The events surrounding this issue are that in April 2004, when Mr.
Odhiambo was employed as the Internal Auditor at Charterhouse Bank, he
came. across information touching on various economic crimes that
included money laundering, tax evasion, violation of the Banking Act and
the Central Bank of Kenya Act, being perpetrated by the owners and
management of the bank.

He relayed this information to the Kenya Revenue Authority in the same


month. In August 2004, this information was transmitted to then Minister for
Finance Hon. David Mwiraria with a promise of strict confidentiality. Based
on this information, Hon. Mwiraria through the Central Bank of Kenya
constituted an Inter Agency Task Force chaired by the - Kenya Anti-
Corruption Commission to carry out a detailed investigation into the
violations cited in that report.

During the course of the investigations by the task force, Mr. Odhiambo
assisted the Task Force with additional information including the forensic
audit on Charterhouse Bank. In August 2004 as the work of the task force
was ongoing, Mr. Odhiambo was advised by his contacts within the Task
Force to resign his job at Charterhouse Bank and in view of his cooperation,
the Central Bank of Kenya offered him alternative employment in February
2005 in the Internal Audit Department.

-2-
His role in assisting the Task Force was regrettably leaked to the owners
and the management of Charterhouse Bank around November 2004 and as a
result he started receiving anonymous and threatening phone calls through
his mobile phone. He also noticed several suspicious persons inquiring
about where he lived. Owing to these inquiries, Mr. Odhiambo was forced to
dispatch his family-his wife and two children- out of the country. Since then,
he has been forced to move houses thrice.

Article 9 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political rights provides


for the right of everyone to enjoy security of the person which right is also
guaranteed by Section 70 of the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya.
Every Kenyan is entitled to life, liberty, security of the person and the
protection of law. Now that Messrs Odhiambo's and Mwirigi's personal
safety has become a matter of national concern on account of the events
that surround Charterhouse bank, it is our sincere belief that the police have
a duty to ensure that their right to security of their persons is not infringed.

We further draw your attention to Section 392 of the Penal Code (Cap 63
Laws of Kenya) which imposes a duty on citizens to prevent commission of
crimes by making it an offence to neglect to prevent a felony. It reads:
"Every person who, knowing that a person designs to commit or is
committing a felony, fails to use all reasonable means to prevent the
commission or completion thereof is guilty of a misdemeanour"

In our minds, the KNCHR is expected to be a credible, professional and ethical


body holding custody of human rights protection and mandated to act impartially,
fairly, legally and within the rules of natural justice. It is our fair assumption that
your above quoted letter was a finding resulting from a complaint filed to and
thoroughly investigated by the KNCHR

Our surprise is therefore based on your findings that " ... should anything untoward
compromise the safety and the security of Mr. Odhiambo or Mr. Mwirigi, the
suspicion will remain that those responsible are the owners of Charterhouse Bank,
their agents and/or some elements within the police force."

This finding is ascertained and confirmed by your mighty signature as the


Chairman of KNCHR. The KNCHR in its protection and defence of human rights
and in its administration of justice is only mandated to act within the law,
independently, impartially and without discrimination.

-3-
The rules of natural justice demand that no person be condemned unheard, or
without being accorded a fair opportunity to defend themselves against any
accusation levelled against them. The KNCHR has accused, condemned and
scandalised us under none other than by its Chairman without giving us the
opportunity to respond to any allegations and we are disturbed as to how the
Chairman a lawyer of no mean distinction drew his conclusions without giving both
parties a fair hearing.

It is our contention that the acts, the letter and the findings stated in the said letter
are unreasonable, unfair, discriminatory, biased, scandalous and against the rules
of natural justice as they are based on malicious rumours and allegations and are
in violation of our fundamental rights for the following facts and reasons:

1. Charterhouse Bank is a financial institution, licensed, operating,


controlled, supervised and regulated under the Banking Act and the
Central Bank of Kenya Act.

2. The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) as the regulator is mandated under


the Banking Act to inspect, supervise, provide a remedy and advise or
eng~ge a professional to undertake any act or action that is required for
a bank to be compliant.

3. The Central Bank of Kenya in performance of its duty brings to the


notice of any commercial bank any violations if they are detected and
the bank is given an opportunity to respond before the CBK takes any
action. .

4. Charterhouse Bank of its own volition and motivated by the need to be


compliant with the Banking Act Cap 488 Laws of Kenya, fhe Central
Bank Act of Kenya Cap 491 of the Laws of Kenya and the Prudential
Guidelines sought to recruit an internal auditor to ensure that all the
bank accounts, documents and operational procedures were in total
compliance with the laws and more particularly the CBK Act and the
Banking Act. Mr. Peter Odhiambo sought employment in Charterhouse
Bank as an internal auditor and during the interview, he portrayed
himself as being capable of undertaking the duties and functions of an
internal auditor responsible for the bank's audit that is to say, all the
documents transactions, operations and banking related business. He
was supposed to ensure compliance and make recommendations to the
management where necessary.

-4 -
5. In essence, the custodians of the bank's documents at the
Charterhouse Bank were the internal auditor Peter Odhiambo and the
person in charge of the archives Joseph Maina Gachari.

6. From the time that Peter Odhiambo was employed, he at all times
informed the management that he was up-to date with his audit, that he
had audited and continued to audit all the bank books, documents,
operations and transactions and everything was compliant with the
Banking Act, the Central Bank of Kenya Act and the Prudential
Guidelines. Even where an issue would be raised by the Central Bank
Inspectors, it is Peter Odhiambo who would be the first person to
respond before the matter came to the attention of the management or
board.

7. If there were any or if there existed any violations or wrong doings at


Charterhouse Bank, Peter Odhiambo either caused them or deliberately
failed to rectify them or where he was not able to rectify, to bring them to
the attention of the management or the board or to the Central Bank of
Kenya Inspectors who have always been inspecting Charterhouse Bank
from time to time as provided by the statutes.

8. Sometimes in the year 2003, the management of Charterhouse Bank


became aware that its data and diskettes to the Clearing House were
being tampered with to the detriment of the bank and its customers.
This being a major security breach, the matter was reported to the
Central Bank of Kenya, the Banking Fraud Investigations Department
but no one was apprehended.

9. At the same time the bank discovered that its Back-up data and
software were missing. This time a report was made at the Central
Police Station but no action was taken. The management then called
and interrogated Mr. Lameck Wangumba, who was in charge of the
Information Technology and computer systems at the bank. From his
response and behaviour, it became apparent that he knew and/or was
responsible for the theft of the bank's back-up data and the software.

10. As soon as Mr. Wangumba knew that the police had been involved, he
quickly left the bank just before Christmas of December 2003.

-5-
11. With this information and experience, the management became alert
and discovered that although Lameck Wangumba had left he was in
constant touch with Peter Odhiambo.

12. Sometimes in mid 2004, the bank received information that someone
was stealing and removing documents from the bank. The management
directed Peter Odhiambo to investigate, audit and to establish the extent
of the theft and what documents had been stolen and whether it was
true or not. He was required to put into place measures to ensure that
confidential documents were not stolen or interfered with and if he had
any difficulties, he was supposed to report and/or make
recommendations to the management.

13. At all times, Peter Odhiambo confirmed to the management that he had,
perused and examined all the documents and transactions and that all
were in compliance and that the allegations of theft and/or remov~1 of
documents from Charterhouse Bank was false.

14. Being the internal auditor, the banks documents custodian and a
member of the senior management team, the bank had no reason not to
believe him.

15. However, the information about documents being stolen and removed
from the bank increased. Whatever was stolen was allegedly being
taken to the Central Bank of Kenya and to the Kenya Revenue
Authority. The bank engaged the services of a private investigator who
discovered that the documents were actually being stolen and removed
from Charterhouse Bank by Peter Odhiambo and another officer called
Chege from the foreign exchange department and were being delivered
to certain people both at Kenya Revenue Authority, the Central Bank of
Kenya and at various hotels within the city.

16. After receiving the Investigator's report, the bank called in the police and
Peter Odhiambo left the bank in a huff when he discovered that the
police had been called in respect of the stolen documents and he had
been identified as the culprit.

17. The private investigator ascertained that Peter Od hiambo and Chege
were frequent visitors at the Central Bank and the KRA offices.

-6-
st
18. On 31 August 2004, a contingent of officials from CBK accompanied
by the Governor's son Mr. Silla Mullei, Mr. Melville Smith and others
including officers from the Kenya Anti Corruption Commission (KACC)
and police officers raided Charterhouse Bank demanding certain
specific documents in respect of certain specific accounts running up to
and approximately 260 accounts.

19. At the bank it was discovered that during the activities of these raids,
the raiders were constantly receiving directions on their mobile phones
which seemed unusual. The raiders were looking for specific documents
which strangely enough were found to be missing as they had been
stolen.

20. The management summoned one Joseph Maina Gachari being the
person in charge of the bank's archives to explain why the documents
that were being sought were not being made available. Mr. Gachari
was ordered to ensure that the documents were found and handed over
to the CBK team as they had requested.

21. Mr .. Gachari informed the management that the documents that were
being sought were among those that had been transferred temporarily
to the bank's archives during the bank's expansion. He was directed to
go to the archives and bring the documents and the management gave
t
him until 1s November 2004 to produce all the documents. When asked
why the documents had still not been availed, he said he was unable to
locate them and suggested that Peter Odhiambo 'would know where the
documents were since they were not in the archives and he was the
only other person who' had access to the archives. Given that Peter
Odhiambo had already quit employment, Mr. Gachari was suspended
from work but he never returned.

22. Immediately after Gachari was suspended, on zo"September 2004, in


some rather inexplicable circumstances, the banks archives caught fire
and everything in the archives burnt down. It is instructive that the
location of the archives was only known to Peter Odhiambo, Maina
Gachari, the Managing Director and one other manager. The matter
was reported to the police but the cause of fire was never established
although arson was suspected.

23. From the description of the documents that had been stolen from the
bank, it is the bank's view that this had been a calculated conspiracy to

-7-
remove account opening documents of certain accounts, files of certain
clients and to pluck out vital documents from the files that could later be
used as a weakness to portray Charterhouse Bank as being in violation
of the "Know your Customer" which can only come about by way of
missing documents.

24. After the raid, the investigation and the inspection, the bank was not
able to produce the missing files nor any of the missing documents that
were being demanded by the CBK team but we were to later learn that
all the documents that were specifically being requested had been
downloaded, plucked out discriminatively from various files and for
these unfortunate events, the bank was found to be in violation and
fined KShs. 1,000,000/-.

25. Up to this point in time, the bank management had put the unpleasant
issues at the back of their minds and moved on and the bank continued
with its normal operations and enhanced its security management
systems or so they thought.

26. Unfortunately, towards the end of the year 2005, it was discovered that
one James Muia a current employee of Charterhouse Bank was
constantly being seen in the company of Peter Odhiambo and Maina
Gachari. The bank management suspected that he might try to steal
documents again from the bank, but decided not to sack him but to put
him under surveillance since the Police Officers from the Central Police
Station had informed the management that unless they had proof or
caught him red handed with the documents, there was nothing that the
police could do. He is still an employee of Charterhouse Bank even as
we write to you. -

27. From the beginning of the year, it was discovered that SUSpiCIOUS
activities were taking place between James Muia and yet another
employee one David Okinda who was now in charge of the IT Systems.
The management started investigating their activities and it was
discovered that some accounts and data was being tampered with and
that at certain times, there was a logging of the bank's data for
inordinate periods of time and it was unclear why for example David
Okinda would dwell on certain accounts for in excess of three hours.
When the bank called in an expert, it was confirmed that there was
external intrusion into the bank's system where data was being

-8-
tampered with and lor being transferred elsewhere and after he was
discovered, Mr. Okinda left employment.

28. From the year 2004 to-date, and at all material times, the bank
considered all the unfortunate incidents as activities of some disloyal
and greedy employees who were doing all this for their own personal
gain and it never occurred to us they were doing it to injure the bank.

nd
29. From 2 April 2006, the bank started being portrayed negatively in the
th
media and on 24 May 2006 certain copies of letters were delivered by
courier to Charterhouse Bank. The letters turned out to have been sent
by anonymous people who had circulated the said letters to various
people including our bank. They were letters that had been removed
from our archives andlor stolen from the government registry.

30. The bank's management looked at the letters and decided that it was
. proper that the matter be reported to the police and that the original 'set
handed over for investigations.

31. The Managing Director Mr. Sanjay Shah personally reported the matter
to the police and was subsequently asked to record a police statement.

32. Upon further perusal of the said numerous letters a rather serious
discovery was made which made it very clear that what the bank was
facing was a well calculated, planned and a deliberate conspiracy to
bring Charterhouse Bank down.

33. Following were the letters:-

(i) A letter dated November 2004 written by Titus Mwirigi stating that
before the task force was established, certain documents had
been gathered from Charterhouse Bank prior to the
establishment of the task force and then the documents were
made available to a particular member. It is indicated that the
source was one Joseph Maina Gachari.

(ii) A document titled "Memorandum of Meetings in support of Fee


Note. Under the subject Consultancy Contract: Titus MWirigi and
CBK" , This confirms that on 2ih October, there was a meeting at
CBK with various heads of department from CBK, KACG,
JUdiciary, Ethics & Governance and some consultants.

-9-
We found some of the revelations uncanny because in our view such a
gathering was uncommon especially since KACC is supposed to
conduct its business independent of any other arm of the government
as it is also expected to investigate them. Further, the CBK in
performance of its duties and information gathered are all supposed to
be confidential and can only be used for the purpose of the Banking Act.
There is also the mention of consultants. Consultants have no statutory
powers. The most disturbing issue is that in this purported investigation
into Charterhouse Bank, the Judiciary was also incorporated.

34. The documents confirm that on the 30th, October a meeting with
Charterhouse Bank employees for purposes of obtaining documents for
the task force was held and included Titus Mwirigi, Maina Gachari,
Peter Odhiambo and Joseph Chege.

5t
35. On 1 November 2004 a meeting at KACC to debrief former employees
of Charterhouse Bank and to assist in preparing for a visit to the bank
by KACC was held and included Titus Mwirigi and Peter Odhiambo.

th
36. On 5 November, working sessions with the Heads of Department from
CBK, Judiciary and Ethics & Governance were held at the Tamarind
Restaurant.

th
37. On 11 November, a meeting was held at KACC offices to review the
final draft and interim report .
.
h
38. On 1i November, a meeting at KACC with Mr. Lameck to decode
computer data on behalf of Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) was held.

th
39. On 18 November, a meeting between Peter Odhiambo and Task Force
Chairman was held to discuss latest information and to submit a report
on the developments at Charterhouse Bank.

40. The next document is titled "Confidential Schedule of Meetings" among


others, item 4 records the meeting as having been held between the
governor, the deputy governor, Melville Smith, Peter Odhiambo, Titus
Murigi, item 6 was a meeting between the governor, deputy governor,
Melville Smith, Director BFID, Maina Gachari, Peter Odhiambo, Lameck
and Titus Mwirigi.

- 10 -
41. You will note that the persons mentioned Peter Odhiambo, Maina
Gachari, Lameck Wangumba, Joseph Chege and Titus Mwirigi
contracted as consultants by CBK were meeting in various hotels in the
city including Tamarind Restaurant, Hotel Boulevard, Kengeles
Restaurant, ABC Place and the Gazebo in Upperhill.

42. The most significant issue is item No. 15 where it is stated that Mr.
Lameck, Mr. Ng'eno and Titus Mwirigi met for the purpose of
programming, installing and recalling of data stolen from Charterhouse
Bank.

From the foregoing paragraphs, any reasonable person will come to the
conclusion that the above activities were clearly orchestrated and planned to bring
down Charterhouse Bank.

We are aware of the importance and need for a whistle blower but a whistle
bloweris in our view a person who passes genuine information to the authorities
for investigation and not a person who is hired from the onset to create violations.
The acts of stealing the documents by an employee of Charterhouse Bank in
order to assist in the creation of a violation so that the bank can be raided to
discover the" violations so as to criminalize the bank and the people associated
with the bank is unconscionable, unethical, immoral inhuman and inconsistent with
all rules of civilized behaviour, all laws and human rights principles.

We would want to state here that by a letter written by Dr. Mullei dated 1st March
2005, the bank was punished for the various findings stated herein and from that
date the bank cannot be punished or continue to be harassed after it has already
been punished. Even in your realm a person cannot be punished twice for the
same crime.

Further, it is now apparent and it is confirmed from the evidence that documents
were stolen and removed from Charterhouse Bank with a view to create violations.
The duty to correct all the violations of missing documents as stated in the said
letter of 1st March 2005 was that of the Charterhouse Bank internal auditor and
archivist Mr. Peter Odhiambo and Joseph Maina Gachari respectively.

It is common practice that documents relating to accounts might be misplaced or


may have fallen off the files and it is the duty of the auditor and the archivist to
detect and inform the account holder by asking them to provide copies of the
documents or new ones. Under normal circumstances this would not be an issue
that would be brought to the attention of the Managing Director.

- 11 -
When the raid was conducted at Charterhouse the Managing Director wrote
complaining to the Minister and the Minister was kind enough to convene a
meeting in his office between CBK and Charterhouse Bank and after the issues
were discussed, the animosity subsided.

Charterhouse is one of the most well managed banks and has nothing to hide.
That is the reason that Charterhouse Bank has not sacked James Muia, because
it wants to see what he is up to. Had we been malicious as Odhiambo and Mwirigi
would have you believe, Muia would have been summarily dismissed but he is still
working at Charterhouse as we write this letter to you.

Mr. Chairman, we would want to thank you because despite all that has happened
in the last two years, no one has brought to our notice any allegations of
impropriety. No matter how off the mark you may be and no matter how incorrect
the inf?rmation provided to you may be, you are the first person to ask for a
response and although this is directed to the Commissioner of Police and copied
to us, we find that we should present to you the sequence of events as they have
occurred and the way that they are.

It may come as a surprise to you as the Chairman of KNHRC that since the matter
erupted in the media, we have written consistently to the persons responsible, the
governor and the minister seeking for an opportunity to tell our side of the story
and correct the deliberate misinformation as demanded by fair play but his has
been in vain.

After the adverse media publicity which started around so"March 2006,
th
inspectors from CBK were sent to Charterhouse Bank on 6 April 2006 and
another contingent of inspectors were sent on the 18th of April. They conducted
their inspection and concluded the inspection towards the end of May 2006
resulting in a CBK report dated 21st June 2006 requiring the management to
respond to issues raised therein by 4th July 2006.

However just as the management was preparing to respond to comply with the 4th
July 2006 deadline, the following day after the report was delivered, Charterhouse
Bank was placed under statutory management on 23rd June 2006 and a statutory
manager took over the management, control and conduct of the business of the
bank.

Mr. Kiai, as a human rights crusader conversant with principles of equity, was that
right and or fair?

- 12 -
Simultaneously, the banks' customers' information which was either stolen and
removed from the bank by the bank's employees at a fee of US$ 300 a day paid
for by the CBK, or information collected by the said CBK Inspectors, all of which
should have been confidential and in the custody of the Central Bank was passed
to unauthorized individuals where it was released to the media and tabled in
parliament. We sincerely believe that the Central Bank of Kenya under Section
32(2)(b) is prohibited from disseminating information to unauthorized persons.

From all the information available, it is clear that Charterhouse Bank data and
software were stolen on the instigation of CBK and KRA and the said banks data
was installed at CBK and KRA more particularly at the behest of Mr. Nduati
without authority or justification.

KRA and Central Bank are professional and ethical bodies which are not expected
to be involved in clandestine activities outside what the statutes authorize them or
be used and/or abused by persons with personal vendettas. They cannot be
involved in activities of pirating, counterfeiting and/or stealing from the institutions
they are supposed to regulate so as to find fault in them. There is a defined and
proper way to get the information that they stole legally without committing the
offences that they have committed.

Charterhouse Bank has noticed that all its large account holders are now being
investigated at the behest of Mr. Nduati with the view of finding violations or faults
against them which is unethical.

It is clear from the adverse and inexorable campaign in the media and elsewhere
that there is a concerted effort to publish and disseminate false and misleading
information against Charterhouse Bank and the Nakumatt chain of supermarkets
on allegations of tax evasion. -

In our view, if Nakumatt is genuinely found to be evading payment of taxes, it


behoves the KRA to enforce collection and it is not the duty of Charterhouse Bank
to compel Nakumatt to pay taxes. There should not be a blanket condemnation
and someone must come out and categorically state what customs taxes have not
been paid, what VAT taxes have not been remitted what corporate taxes, PAYE
and withholding taxes have not been paid. All we have now are allegations hyped
up by a hostile media and to which we have been denied a chance to respond to
and where our attempts have been given a black out.

- 13 -
At Charterhouse Bank, we wonder, if for instance an account holder has violated
any law, whether it is the account holder who should face the full force of the law
or whether his activities must interfere with other account holders deposits and
rights.

The KNHCR has made various strong statements in respect to the Goldenberg
matter and it is a matter of fact that after the massive theft of colossal amounts of
money that took place at the CBK, the CBK as an institution was not interfered
with but only the persons responsible for the fraud were arrested and charged in
court i.e. the governor, deputy governor and some officers. The said stolen funds
passed through Kenya Commercial Bank and National Bank of Kenya so why was
action only taken against the individuals responsible and there was no clamour to
shut down National Bank or Kenya Commercial Bank?

Charterhouse Bank has no liquidity problem, it is in compliance with the Banking


Act, the Central Bank of Kenya Act and the Prudential Guidelines. The placing. of
the bank under statutory management is contrary to the law and raises serious
human rights issues. This is because ordinary Kenyans who are depositors
and/or creditors are not able to transact their business causing them SUffering and
denying them a decent livelihood.

Corporate entities with deposits in Charterhouse and who transact Banking


business at Charterhouse Bank have been denied access to their deposits. They
have also been denied withdrawals and most cannot even pay wages and salaries
to a large number of Kenyans who in turn are not able to pay their debts or meet
their obligations like paying school fees, house rents, put food on the table etc.
Don't these issues touch on fundamental human rights?

In view of the fact that the statutory manager is not conducting any banking
business, no profit or income will be generated which will result in the statutory
manager taking money from the depositors deposits to meet the daily and monthly
expenses of the bank to the detriment of the innocent depositors for whose
interests the CBK is supposed to protect.

The statutory manager has also started sending employees on leave and with a
view of spending the depositors money has engaged her friends from Price
Waterhouse Coopers to come and re-audit the bank at a fee of over KShs.
5,000,000/- from the depositors money and this is happening immediately after the
conclusion of a CBK inspection and audit exercise, which is suspect,
unconscionable and what to us appears to be a deliberate effort to run the bank
down and thus legitimize its ultimate closure.

- 14 -
You may also have noticed a current and intensive campaign by notable
personalities, government officials and being aware that CBK was paying
Charterhouse Bank employees US$ 300 to steal documents from the Bank which
led to the irregular placing of Charterhouse Bank under statutory management,
without any legal basis or reason and the freezing of all banking business, it is
clear to us that there is a move to interfere with private businesses and it
demonstrates a well calculated and clear intention of hurting Nakumatt as well.

As the chairman of KNHRC you will note that when we felt that our rights and
those of our depositors and creditors were being violated, as law abiding citizens,
we sought justice from the courts but to our disappointment even as we go to
court, we are aware that when this conspiracy against Charterhouse Bank was
being orchestrated, it is clearly indicated that the judiciary was present as
evidenced by the meeting schedule aforementioned. The results are obvious.

Mr. Chairman, the bank's documents were stolen in the year 2004. No senior
member of Charterhouse Bank has ever made any attempt to contact our former
employees - never. Why should you then allege that we are responsible for their
safety? After they stole the documents and despite having received US$ 300 a
day for those acts, all of them were rewarded with jobs at Central Bank of Kenya,
what interest would we have in them two years later? What is it that they have
done now that we are not aware of, that they want to preempt by making false
allegations? Can't you see you have been duped and are being used?

In our view, and in reference to Section 392 of the PenalCode, it would be most
appropriate for a proper police report to be made so that proper investigations can
be conducted and the truth can be established and the culprits arrested and
charged before a court of law. For the first time in the history of this country we
believe that we have a Police Commissioner who is free of political manipulation.
As you are aware, the law provides for punishment for a person who gives false
information to a person employed in a public office.

It has become exceedingly obvious that there is a concerted effort being


orchestrated by some high powered individuals against Charterhouse Bank and
Nakumatt. These individuals have successfully enlisted the support of certain
personalities in the media houses, some few members of parliament and some
individuals from the civil society movement in a campaign to bring Charterhouse
Bank down and the Nakumatt business.

- 15 -
We would not be further from the truth if we assumed that the allegations of the
individuals whose security is purported to be at risk are just another attempt to
include you in this adverse campaign against us so as to give it credence because
it is obvious that you have a platform.

Mr. Chairman, as a custodian of the only organ that is supposed to protect human
rights, we would request that you do not join in a vilification and odious campaign
whose origins and cause you are not privy to, that is aimed at destroying and or
violating the human rights of some people whose rights you should also be
protecting.

The KNHRC which you chair is the custodian of human rights and entitlements for
all, which include individual human rights as enshrined in the constitution. We
know you are a long time crusader of human rights, impartiality, fairness, ethics,
rule of law and natural justice.

From ttie facts enumerated above, our simple question to you is, given that the
CBK recruited employees at Charterhouse Bank and paid them US$ 300 per day
to steal documents, software and manipulate data and were later rewarded with
jobs at the Central Bank of Kenya for a job well done which has now enabled CBK
to illegally take over Charterhouse Bank and which has also allowed them to
freeze all manner of business, what further damage can they cause now that they
are in charge, what other information can they manufacture, manipulate and or
plant in Charterhouse Bank to help them achieve their goal of closing it down?

Charterhouse Bank is the first bank in history to be placed under statutory


management even though it has a strong liquidity base, but it is this strong liquidity
base that they are trying to destroy so that they can now claim to close
Charterhouse Bank for lack of adequate liquidity. The prolonged closure and dilly
dallying and chasing away the banks bona fide depositors and creditors are all
meant to discredit the bank, wear the customers down and force them to seek
services elsewhere and therefore simplify their task of the intended closure of the
bank. That is the kind of campaign that you are being dragged into.

If all these protracted activities by CBK and others against Charterhouse Bank and
its depositors and creditors, the witch-hunt, the malicious vilification and adversity
are all happening in broad daylight in a country that espouses democratic
principles, we are left to wonder if these are not fundamental human rights issues,
then what are human rights?

- 16 -
All the directors of the bank that you have named in your letter are firstly
husbands, fathers, sons, brothers etc. they are human beings who cherish family
values and good morals and are entitled to protection of their human rights too.
What evidence could you have to make you put their names on paper as people
who are threatening the lives of others? Is it that casual to accuse an innocent
person of threatening another's life? Most of the directors do not even know the
people that you are talking about and Mr. Chairman how do you find it so easy to
make allegations such as you have made? We know there is no evidence since
we have never threatened or ever wanted to harm anyone, so how did you decide
that those you named deserve protection and we do not? They stole data, got
good jobs with CBK and have been working there for almost two years and all of a
sudden we are now threatening their lives? Please open up your eyes.

And now that you have made your accusations, since you are the custodian of
observance that human rights are not infringed, tell us Mr. Chairman, where do we
now go for recourse? Who will hear our side of the story? After the accusations,
who wilt protect us and our families since we believe that this is part of the ploy' to
destroy the bank and then come after the directors, where do we now turn for
justice and protection of our own human rights?

Despite your having written to the Commissioner of Police and circulated the said
letter to all the directors of Charterhouse, on Tuesday the 18th July 2006, you
appeared on television commenting on the plight of whistle blowers while in the
same breadth you were defending your organization from allegations of misuse of
funds. You stated that your organization is audited by the Controller and Auditor
General. Your other comment was in the form of praise for Peter Odhiambo for
having been awarded a job at CBK on the purported whistle blowinq against
Charterhouse Bank.

We wish to express out disappointment because on various occasions when you


have appeared on Television talking on the need for protection of human rights,
justice and fairness, you made us believe that you are a fair and impartial person
who adheres to the rule of law, we saw a person who would make a suitable
candidate for appointment as a judge. But from your current utterances on the
electronic media and from the contents of your letter, it is clear that a person who
passes judgment and condemns others on the basis of rumours and allegations
without according the other side an opportunity to defend themselves would not be
competent to arbitrate where fairness, impartiality, rules of natural justice and the
rule of law are mandatory in order to determine issues.

- 17 -
As a lawyer who has read section 392 of the Penal Code and we would like to
confirm to you that we have been reporting these matters to the police since the
year 2003 to-date. We have unfailingly been reporting that some employees of
Charterhouse Bank were stealing documents from the bank. This is criminal and
we believe that you are quite conversant with the laws that criminalize theft
whether by servant or otherwise. A criminal act remains a criminal act no matter
who the perpetrator is.

By reporting the matter to the police, we did the correct thing. If you had taken the
trouble to ask us, or even sought an explanation from us, after hearing both sides
of the story, we would have helped you to make a well founded opinion and we
are sorry that you did not find it necessary to talk to us.

Again as the Chairman of KNHCR and as a lawyer who has been involved in
crusading for fairness, respect for human rights et ai, we sincerely believe that you
know that a whistle blower is a person who out of a genuine concern and in the
public Interest, reports any illegal activities or wrong doings of his own free will,
without inducement or promises and without malice or ill-will.

Peter Odhiambo was a senior officer of Charterhouse Bank who together with
others were "employed by Charterhouse Bank to perform the duties that make a
bank compliant with the relevant laws. It was the duty of Peter Odhiambo to audit
this process at a salary of over KShs. 100,000.00 per month. He was thus running
his internal audit department without much supervision and or interference.

We are not sure whether you are aware that he was being induced by certain
other individuals to steal the banks documents at a lucrative fee of US$ 300 a day.
Surely, working for these people at a rate of US$ 300 a day for 20 days, in a
month he would make a side earning of approximately KShs. 400,000/- per month
on top of his salary and with a further incentive of a job at CBK after perfecting the
stealing, this would be hard to pass up. Is this whistle blowing in your opinion?

Our records show that Mr. Titus Mwirigi who was also contracted under a similar
fee of US$ 300 per day is given as Odhiambo's referee in his employment
records. Are these people what you term as whistle blowers and for whom you
are actually asking the state to further provide for them?

Further, since all the four purported whistle blowers are all former employees of
Charterhouse Bank, it cannot be humanly possible that the whistle blowers who
attract attention are all found or are from this bank.

- 18 -
There is clear evidenos that these people commilled a crime for a fee and/or
reward and we have continued to report these matters to the police. It is also
clear from your letter that you are well conversant with the full details and
informationpertaining to the directors and shareholders of Charterhouse Bank. It
is therefore obvious that it is the directors whose lives are purportedly in danger
and not those of the persons that you mention in your leller. A person who steals
documentsfor money is also capable of killing for money.

By a copy of this letter, we the directors and shareholders of Charterhouse Bank


request that the Commissioner of Police do provide us with adequate security as it
is obvious that our lives may be in danger given the magnitude of the conSpiracy
against us which seems to be snow-bailing.

You were here when the commission probing the Goldenberg Scandal was taking
place and where Mr. David Munyankei testified. Your praises for the CBK cannot
be genuine as it is the Central Bank that sacked Munyankei the CBK never
reinstated him. But ironically instead, they can contract Peter Odhiambo and
company at US$ 300 each per day and with promises of plum lucrative jobs at the
CBK once the job is done.

As a human rights activist and the Chairman of KNHCR, is this discrimination, is it


fair, or what is it in your opinion? In Our view this boils down to abuse of office
and/acts done for personal gain.

We sincerely hope that in respect of the property belonging to Charterhouse Bank


which was stolen by these people i.e. data, software, files, documents etc. the full
force of the law will be brought to bear on the perpetrators of the theft and so that
we can recover our property.

As we come to the conclusion of this letter, we cannot belabour the profundity of


our pain at the remote possibility that you may just have been recruited by these
people who we believe have been stealing documents from our bank and are now
using your organization to legitimize their illegal acts, by seeking protection to
make something illegal look good in the eyes of the public who will be arguing that
if your organization has sanctioned their acts, then surely the other side is
necessarily guilty.

We believe that civil societies exist for public good and should never be used to
injure or hurt innocent people without justification or reason. They exist for the
good of humankind, a/l humankind.

- 19 -
We are therefore unable to demand any apology from you or your organization but
we hope that once you have read the facts stated herein, your conscience and the
objects of your commission will guide you towards the truth, and like Jesus said,
the truth shall set you free.

We write to you this letter being reminded of the words of the Late Honourable
Elijah Mwangale during the J M Commission of inquiry who said that the hyena
who spoke to the rock commented that 'even if you don't respond, I have told
you and I know you have heard me'.

Yours faithfully,

.

shielded by the cloak of clients' confidentiality,

2003 to date with a view to est:.tblishing any illcidence of VAT and Income Tax
e\'aSlon.

;.- The following findings have been made following the scrutiny of the company's
records \'is-:'t-vis (he bank records,
f
I
,!
1. CREATIVE INNOVATIONS LTD

:r We have discovered two undisclosed Bank accounts of Creative Innovations with


deposits totaling to Kshs. 262,105,659 within the period ] anuary 1999 to October

'r W E Tilley Muthaiga Ltd IS a fish processing and export company with sister
companies Tanzania.
I (

I
I. r: The Kenyan company handles all the exports on behalf of the Tanzanian
companies and receives payments on their behalf.

r Total sales for the period May 2003 to October 200-1 amounted to Kshs.
5,230,206,791.25 while the total deposits into their official bank accounts amount
to Kshs, 5,030,611,476.00.

:,... Allowing for exchange rate gains (losses) it seems the deposits in their official
bank accounts compensate for the sales proceeds of the three sister companies.
~f~ s,
_
f'
;... But the company only declares the sales proceeds of the Kenyan operations to the
[ .
Kcnyan Tax Authority.

:r No evidence however IS seen of remittances to the Tanzanian companies to


account for their exports.

r
Contact the Tanzanian Revenue Authority to find out whether thc Tanzanian
...• ~ sister companies declare their export earnings in Tanzania .
\
r:
If the amounts arc not brought to charge in Tanzania, then the relevant Kenyan
tax will be assessed on the balance not declared in Kenya.

Establish the implications of trading in foreign currency, assess the income
earned, determine the tax implications and recommend appropriate action.

REF: INTER AGENCY INVESTIGATION "ON ECONOMIC CRIMES BY
CHARTERHOUSE BANK LTD AND RELATED COMPANIES

Reference is made to the interim report of the Task Force carrying out the above
referenced investigation.

I would like to bring to your attention the hurdles we are facing especially with
respect to obtaining records, information and explanations from the Charterhouse
Bank Ltd, which could delay the expeditious conclusion of our investigations and
probably affect tile eventual outcome.

The bank is central to our investigations as we try to establish commissions of


economic crimes by related companies in the first phase and illegal money
transfers and violation of banking regulations in the second phase.

The foliO\,ying are some of the dmicullies we are experiencing with the bank.

1. The bank does not maintain sufficient bank opening documents and other
documentation for its client's account. For instance;

No bank opening documents and other records were made


available to us for the account of Sailesh Prajapati Account No.
CA 01-00148 with over 2 billion worth of dealings. The
explanation by the bank was that the documents were burnt in a
go-down fire in industrial Area. However this explanation may
not be true since documents such as account opening
documents are kept witr.in the bank for ease of reference

(:\';' No sufficient documentstion eg photographs of account holder,


-: cepies of lO/Passport has been provided for the Account of D.
_...._., Shall No. CA 01-000374 such that it has become difficult to
trace tile identity of the account holder. No documentation has
teen made available tc support over Kshs. 600 million worth of
Transfers from the acccunt.
(iii) One of their clients, Creative Innovations Ltd maintains four
current accounts with the bank but has only one set of account
opening documents. The bank claims that the other three are
operated by the same set. Curiously, two of the bank accounts
for this client are not disclosed to the Kenya Revenue Authority
yet there is evidence that sales proceeds' are deposited into
these accounts. The accounts for this company were initially
opened by the current Managing Director of the bank and there
is suspicion that thoL;gh he resigned as a director of the
company, he still remains a signatory to the accounts.

Huge sums, converted into foreign currency in excess of


Kshs.157 Million were transferred from one of the secret
accounts to unspecified foreign' destinations through
Telegraphic Foreign Exchange transfers between May 2003 to
October 2004."

(iv) The bank gave us the account opening form of Capricon SRL
for the accounts of Paolo Sattanino. No other documents were
made available to us for all the three foreign currency accounts
of Paolo Sattanino. Huge foreign exchange transfers to the
tune of Ksh.89,000,000 were effected through these accounts to
foreign destinations between May 2003- October 2004.

2. We have evidence that the bank prepared a Bankers Cheque of


l<sh.879,000 and purported to have cleared it through Middle East Bank.
Our investigations have established that Middle. East Bank never cleared
the Cheque but was instead stamped clewed with a fake Middle East
Stamp within Charterhouse bank and the amount of the cheque withdrawn
in cash to unknown destination. We suspect this type of forgery could be
going on a larger scale within Charterhouse Bank as a means of siphoning
cash out of the Bank.

3. The bank has consistently resisted investigations into the accounts' of "
f<:::r:uki Muigua (clients accounts) citing court orders barring any party from
:::',:c'2ssing them. We however have evidence that the bank acts on
unsigned instructions to operate the accounts of Kariuki Muigua. It is
suspectod that these instructions are prepared within the bank and that
the accounts are operated on behalf of big businesses as parallel
accounts for illegal purposes.

4. ~r1formation with the task force indicates that this bank mainly runs
fict:tious accounts for some of the big businesses in town for purposes of
tax evasion, siphoning of money out of the country into offshore accounts
2::C probably money laundering. Some of the bank accounts mentioned
;:1:")ovoare actually run by big business in assumed names, hence the lack
(;; p ro I)I! r dnr.1 irl1r:!1 [; I! inn

,-'.: :-;jSK Force ':8S considered various options, some of which would be
,') ",-,,-10 court orciors, ~',nd do rnari 1 for morn documents or contest some of

2
~;-,e court orders their "clients" have obtained to bar any party from
il:\'cstigating their accounts. We 'Jbserved that either of the options would
:-';e fraught with delays and counter court actions which would further
;Gl,:Jedeour progress.

The team is also concerned that while the bank and its clients place
hurdles on our way, they could in the meantime be destroying all trace of
evidence and even liquidating some of their assets and moving them
offshore thus rendering our efforts even more futile.

The Task Force feels that the bank, being at the centra of this
i'w8stigation is at the same time the biggest obstacle to the investigation.
:~is for the above reasons that I a:n writing to you as the Regulator to seek
your intervention on this matter.

Dear Sir

RE: IN THE MATTER OF THE PERSONAL SECURITY OF PETER


GEORGE ODHIAMBO AND TITUS MWIRIGI RELATING TO EVENTS
SORROUNDING CHARTERHOUSE BANK.

The above named persons have been to our office citing fears for their personal safety
arising out of their role in matters relating to Charterhouse Bank. We are asking your
office to provide both Mr. Odhiambo and Mr. Mwirigi with security to guarantee their
personal safety from harm

The events surrounding this issue are that in April 2004, when Mr. Odhiambo was
employed as the Internal Auditor at Charterhouse Bank, he came across information
touching on various economic crimes that included money -laundering, tax evasion,
violation of the Banking Act and the Central Bank of Kenya Act, being perpetrated by
the owners and management of the bank.

He relayed this information to the Kenya Revenue Authority in the same month. In
August 2004, this information was transmitted to then Minister for Finance Hon.
David Mwiraria with a promise of strict confidentiality. Based on this information,
Hon. Mwiraria through the Central Bank of Kenya constituted an Inter Agency Task
Force chaired by the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission to carry out a detailed
investigation into the violations cited in that report.

During the course of the investigations by the task force, Mr. Odhiambo assisted the
Task Force with additional information including the forensic audit on Charterhouse
Bank. In August 2004 as the work of the task force was ongoing, Mr. Odhiambo was
advised by his contacts within the Task Force to resign his job at Charterhouse Bank
and in view of his cooperation, the Central Bank of Kenya offered him alternative
employment in February 2005 in the Internal Audit Department

His role in assisting the Task Force was regrettably leaked to the owners and the
management of Charterhouse Bank around November 2004 and as a result he started
receiving anonymous and threatening phone calls through his mobile phone. He also
noticed several suspicious persons inquiring about where he lived. Owing to these
inquiries, Mr. Odhiambo was forced to dispatch his family-his wife and two children-
out of the country. Since then, he has been forced to move houses thrice.

On Friday ih of July 2006, Mr. Odhiambo reported to work and was called by his
supervisor Mrs. Laanoi where he was introduced to a visitor who wanted to speak
with him in private. The Central Bank head of security Mr. Sangoro who was present,
suggested that the meeting take place in his office. Mr. Odhiambo informs us that he
found two other persons in Security Chief's office who he was introduced to as police
officers from Central Police Station.

Mr. Odhiambo was shown a copy of the employment detail form he had completed
upon joining Charterhouse Bank and told that the officers had instructions to
accompany him to his house to conduct a search. They also told him they were
interested in Mr. Titus Mwirigi; a member of the Task Force inquiring into the affairs
of Charterhouse Bank and also a referee to Mr. Odhiambo in the Charterhouse Bank
employment. Once Mr. Sangoro realized that the intended search involved
Charterhouse Bank, he decided to inform his superior-the Head of the Banking Fraud
Irlvestigation Department-upon which the Governor of the Central Bank Mrs. Jacinta.
Mwatela intervened to stop Mr. Odhiambo's intended arrest.

Mrs. Mwatela after scrutinizing the documents presented by the police established
that they lacked any legal basis for his arrest and therefore asked the police to leave.
The affidavit these police officers presented as a basis for Mr. Odhiambo's arrest was
found by the Governor to be unenforceable, inauthentic and illegal because it was not
signed by the present Manager of Charterhouse Bank Ms. Rose Detho. We are
therefore asking your office to investigate the circumstances under which the police
allegedly based their actions and whether the attempt to arrest Mr. Odhiambo had
been authorized by any of your officers. We have reason to suspect that the purported
police actions could be dubious because the police have not returned to the Bank since
then.

Since this incident, Mr. Odhiambo informs our office that he has received numerous
telephone calls warning him of dire consequences in view of the events that now
surround the closure of Charter House Bank. He informs us that he has also received a
lot of calls from people who claim to know these people, warning him of their
capabilities to harm him. The callers have even told him to leave the country if he can.

We are formally asking your office for a written guarantee on the personal safety and
security of Mr. Peter Odhiambo and Mr. Titus Mwirigi. Our basis for asking for Mr.
Mwirigi's guarantee of safety is the fact that those threatening Mr. Odhiambo with
physical harm have also expressed interest in him.

Article 9 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political rights provides for the
right of everyone to enjoy security of the person which right is also guaranteed by
Section 70 of the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya. Every Kenyan is entitled to
life, liberty, security of the person and the protection of law. Now that Messrs
Odhiambo's and Mwirigi's personal safety has become a matter of national concern
on account of the events that surround Charterhouse bank, it is our sincere belief that
the police have a duty to ensure that their right to security of their persons is not
infringed.

We further draw your attention to Section 392 of the Penal Code (Cap 63 Laws of
Kenya) which imposes a duty on citizens to prevent commission of crimes by making
it an offence to neglect to prevent a felony. It reads:

"Every person who, knowing that a person designs to commit or is


committing a felony, fails to use all reasonable means to prevent the
commission or completion thereof is guilty of a misdemeanour"

May we also add that should anything untoward compromise the safety and security
of Mr. Odhiambo or Mr. Mwirigi, then suspicion will remain that those responsible
are the owners of Charterhouse Bank, their agents and / or some elements within the
police force.

We are looking forward to receiving your response on the above issues at the earliest
possible opportunity. In the meantime, we have taken the liberty of copying in the
Ministers of Justice, Internal Security, and the honourable Attorney General inviting
their intervention on these issues of immense public interest.

Sincerely

MINISTERIAL STATEMENT ON THE INTER-AGENCY INVESTIGATIONS ON
' . -
ECONOMIC CRIMES BY CHARTER HOUSE BANK LIMITED AND RELATED
COfAPANiES, 27TH JUNE, 2006

Mr. Speaker Sir, I beg the indulgence of the house to clarify certain
matters related to Charterhouse Bank, as a result of documents tabled in
the house
, by a member, and subsequent allegations made.

The media reports and the different statements that have been made on
the Charter house Bank, have created the impression that:-

(a) The charges facing the Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya,
Dr. Andrew Mullei, are as a result of his efforts to bring to a halt
tax evasion, money laundering and 'other related offences by
Charter HouseBank Ltd and related companies;~cording[y, I
f
wish to set the record straight on this very important national
issue ~

(b) That the government has been reluctant to act on the findings of
the investigation.

1. On 15" December, 2004, the inter-agency task force investigating


-===-=-
economic crimes by Charter House Sank Ltd wrote to the Governor and
informed him that the Charter House Bank was complidt in money
laundering, abetting tax evasion and breaches of rules and regulations. __
2, The Governor responded on 22nd December, 2004, advising KACCto seek
the Attorney-General's opinion with respect to its powers to deal with
such problems. He, however, said he would take up KACC's comments
on matters relating to Charter House Bank's compliance with the
relevant provisions.

3. KACCand KRA continued with investigations into the matter against the
mentioned firms that had accounts at Charter House Bank. The
(~ investigations are at different stages of completion and appropriate
actions will be taken. I wish to request the house to respect the
confidentiality of the investigations in order to protect the outcomes
from unnecessary interference.

Mr. Speaker, as regards the investigation and prosecution of the Governor,


the facts are:-

(a) Investigations were commenced in June, 2005 at the sole initiative of


C KACCbased on information received.

(b)The investigations, were concluded on 21st February, 2006 and file


, .

forwarded to the Attorney-General with recommendation to


prosecute the Governor on four counts of abuse of office.

(c) The Attorney-General approved the charging of the Governor on 22nd


March, 2006.
(d)The letter from the Governor to the Minister for Finance on the
status of Charter House Bank investigations in which he requeste.d
withdrawal of the license was done on zo" March; 2006, exactly one
month after KACCinvestigation file was sent to the Attorney-General
and just two days before the Attorney General approved our
recommendations to charge the Governor.

Mr. Speaker, Han. Members may wish to note that in April and July 2005,
the Governor made recommendations for renewal of the Bank's license and
opening
. of a new branch at Nakumatt Supermarket in Nairobi on, grounds
that the overall financial conditions of the bank was satisfactory and
that the bank was fully compliant with the requirements of the Banking
Act and th.e Central Bank Prudential ~egu(ations.,

Basedon the chronology of events, it is clear that:

(i) The charging of Dr. MuUei in court and his subsequent suspension
.
I"~ , is based on specific charges, and had absolutely nothing to do with
his stand on the Charter Housebank;

(ii) Dr. JAullei did not act on the recommendations of the inter-agency
task force to take action against Charter House Bank for one year
and three months;

th
(iii) As tate as 16 January, 2006, the Governor recommended the
renewal of the Bank's license on the basis that the institution has
maintained a sound financial condition over the years and is in
compliance with the Banking Act and Central Bank Prudential
Regu Iati ons"
(iv) Dr. MuUei wrote to the Minister for Finance on the eve of his
being charged in court.

(v) Follcwing receipt of the letter of March 20, 2006 I directed CBKto
send a team to Charter House Bank to update the status of the
2004 report as at end of March 2006. This report was completed
and given to the managers of the Charter House Bank on June 21st
for their comments in accordance with existing procedures.
While awaiting the response, which is expected next week, a
C leaked copy of the November 2004 report was tabled in
'Parliament. This caused unnecessary panic in the banking 'sector
and in order to protect the interest of. depositors and the bank, I
regrettably approved the appointment of a Statutory Manager for
Charter House Bank on June 22nd, 2006.

Mr. Speaker, I trust that members of this August House and the public at' ..
large are now better informed on the facts of this matter.

STATUS OF CHARTERHOUSE BANK LIMITED INVESTIGATIONS

FUliher to my previous briefings to the Minister for Finance on September 23, 2004 and
October 29, 2004, I would like to provide an update on the status of investigations
relating to Ci~clrterhoLlse Bank activities.

As a backg~OLi~~dof these investigations, the Centra] Bank had set up a Due Diligence
Team in 200.3 to examine more carefully than was generally done by Bank Supervision,
the i)clil}i'ies of banks that apj)earcd to have some problems. On the basis of
infor:11<:ltioi1r,::cei'v'cd from the Minister for Finance, the Due Diligence Team inspected
Charterhousc Gclnk activities. Charterhouse ostensibly looked satisfactory but detailed.
examinilt:on {,)und thi'lt a number -of account holders actually had multiple bank
accounts ','ihid, is (J s:andard way of detecting potentia! tax evasion. The corporations
and individual; that were identified are shown ir: the Results section below.

Using the infnrmii:iOi1 received from the Minister for Finance, the Due Ditigence Team
CX<1111inedthese accounts f!1ore closely and it was found that almost all of them were
linked to NakliITlatt Holdings. The CBK through the Governor informed the Minister for
Finance of the outcome of these investigations and got his approval to convoke a
meeting with (;H~ Director, I\:enya Anti Corruption Authority (Justice A Rinqera), the
Permanent Secretary, GO'Jernance and Ethics (,;ohn Githongo), and the Director, Public
Proseci.ltic:ls "Phiii:J Murgor) to discuss the way forward.

Deputy Co.r.rnissioncr (Investigations). The ?ublic Prosecutor's office was invited to
attend but \.,:s r.ot ~'egular in attendance.

This /vction Tcarn, in view of its membership, was able to do more detailed investigation
since informarion from alternative sources was made available which would not have
been possible under the Banking Act. This investigation fully endorsed the suspicion
th
that there was significant tax evasion. Up to the 30 November 2004 there were two
interim reports prepared. Thereafter the CBl< was not informed nor was it requested to
provide further support. The second interim report of the Joint Action Team, dated 30th
November 2004, is the basis of the data presented in this letter.

Since l<RA has the capacity to work on retroactive information, it was to pursue taxes
while 10\CC would pursue economic crimes that were identified after 2nd May 2003, the
effective date of the Economic Crimes Act. More detailed work would undoubtedly have
) yielded more siqnificant results.

Nevertheless, will: the information available in the second. interim report, one can
conclude that these orqanizaiions (including Nakumatt) would appear to have evaded
tux wilh the collusion of Charterhouse Bank to the extent of between Ksh.2 and 3 billion
in any one year. lf penalties were levied on top of this it would be much more than
twice this amount. Furthermore, the partial accounts that have been examined only
cover one year and there is every reason to believe, in view of the fact that these
accounts all had opening balances, that the operation has been continuous for 5 to 6
years.

There is an extensive group of allied accounts that were identified but not fully
examined. These arc mentioned generically here below. These undoubtedly involved
significant tax evasion if not other economic crimes.

The CBJ<'s Due Diligence personnel including Mr G Nyaoma, Director of Financial

more tax but it would need more detailed analysis than was available. In paliicular,
