Two cashiers of the Ejisu
branch of the Multi Credit Savings and Loans Limited, on Wednesday appeared
before a Kumasi Circuit Court, for allegedly stealing a total sum of
GH¢274,355.50, belonging to customers.
Rita Asieduwaa 33, and
Mercy Nketia 30, pleaded not guilty to the charges and were granted bail
totalling GH¢330,000.00, with three sureties.
The Court presided over by Mrs Lydia Osei
Marfo, ordered them to reappear on May 29, this year.
Assistant Superintendent
of Police (ASP) Felix Akowuah, prosecuting, told the Court that the complainant
was the General Manager of the company, which has its head office in Kumasi,
while the suspects were cashiers at the Ejisu branch.
He said a routine audit check conducted by
management during the month of
January this year, into
the records and transactions between October, 2016, and December, 2018,
uncovered the thefts.
The Prosecution said the audit revealed
that Asieduwaa and Nketia, had misappropriated cash sums of GH¢223,127.80 and
GH ¢51,227.70 respectively, in respect of the ‘susu’ and savings accounts of
their customers.
ASP Akowuah said
management found out that Asieduwaa did not credit the customers’ accounts with
the deposits they made, while Nketia, a field cashier also failed to hand over
monies collected from clients to the office, to be credited into customers’
accounts in the system.
He said management then
confronted the two ladies who admitted the offence and were handed over to the
Police, for further investigations and subsequent prosecution.
