In the case of Kevin Isika Mule v Housing Finance [2019] eKLR and also reported as in the Daily Nation of 29 November 2019 headlined ‘Kenya: Man Sacked for Exposing Fraud at HF Awarded Sh8.9 Million’, Kevin was a career accountant and director of credit risk. In 2015-2016 he informed his two top bosses of undisclosed bad loans amounting to KShs 4.3 billion. He actually blew the whistle on non-compliance on credit, risk, financial malfeasance, conflict of interest, corruption and inefficiency. He was sacked. The Court awarded him KShs 8.9m for wrongful dismissal. We need a secure and anonymous whistle blowing system to protect whistle blowers from losing their jobs!
