Leaked emails have revealed a deep relationship between DCJ Philomena Mwilu and top management of the collapsed Imperial Bank shedding more light on her dealings with the bank.
A series of leaked emails published by The Sunday Standard reveal a close relationship spanning more than 5 years in which Mwilu forwarded the resume of a relative to Mehbooba Shamji Khimji (senior business development manager) for consideration for employment.

“Greetings, forwarded herewith the CV for your necessary action. Kindest regards, Mbete Mwilu,” Read an email from the DCJ.

Shortly afterwards, the relative secured employment with the bank and would prove more useful for other purposes apart from his role as an employee, with the bank relying on him to pass over correspondences meant for Mwilu.

Multiple emails published in the newspaper reveal that the relative was extensively involved at the time of her controversial dealings with the bank that have now landed her in trouble.

“Please follow on the undertaking to make sure (he) goes home with it this evening,” reads one email.
“Morning. He is at work today. I have already informed him that we will need to deliver some documents to (her),” reads another.

The correspondence also reveals that an amount of Sh64.9 million, which was used to repay part of her loan at the bank in December 2015 was deposited by a Ugandan company. The company had been registered three months earlier. The amount, Sh64.9 million, from a Ugandan account held at Crane Bank, was a single transaction.

Crane Bank also had its own problems and it also collapsed. It was later sold by the regulator of banks in Uganda, after Imperial Bank in Kenya also collapsed. The email from a Kihara MN, an official of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), to Imperial Bank explaining the transaction shows that an amount of Sh64,999,450.80 was deposited by RAEI Investments Limited Kampala – which was the ordering customer.

It also appears from the correspondence that before the sudden death of the bank’s boss, Abdulmalek Janmohamed, a business meeting had been arranged between the two sometimes in 2013.

“MD. Justice Mwilu is not answering her phone. I have sent a text. Will revert once I manage to speak with her,” Mehbooba writes to the MD. Soon after, Mehbooba manages to reach Justice Mwilu and she writes another email about two hours later confirming the meeting at 3.15pm on September 30, 2013.

“Dear MD. Further to below, client has said she will come at 3.15pm today, barring any urgent matters at her work place,” Mehboob writes. The subject of the email is ‘Philomena.’ Her relationship with Mehbooba also extended from outside official matters of the bank to include sharing ideas on great tourist destinations.
