What? only a hundred thousand Kwacha for a person who will find him? Is NBS serious? If I can find find him I will just ask him to give me a million so that he can have the 46 million.

I hope the bank insures all its stock (money) for these unforeseen circumstances. The bank may recover the money through insurance. I also think the reward package could be higher to motivate those with effort to report him to police. Munthu waba K47 million, any information leading to his arrest, award K1 million. Banks must make rigorous check on all employees before people are hired.

Poor controls, how did he have access to the vault alone? Vault access imafuna dual key custody controls.

In a few days time, he will realise that money is not everything. If he is outside the country, chances are he won’t be able to bank all those money and it is a pretty risk to be walking around with it. He knows better
