The Nyayo Tea Zones Development Corporation Chief Executive Officer (CEO), David Chepkony, was grilled by the Public Investments Committee on Social Services, Administration, and Agriculture (PIC-SSAA) on Monday following reports of the dismissal of staff after a stock theft.
During the session, he narrated how stock had been stolen from the premises in a suspected burglary, leading to the dismissal of several staff members.
According to the Corporation's Director of Human Resources, preliminary investigations by the police failed to show any conclusive evidence of a break-in and pointed to the stock having been taken over time and the theft being an inside job.
Due to this discovery, the HR revealed that a decision was made to let go of all staff suspected of having been involved in the scheme, even though there was insufficient evidence implicating them.
