An assistant store supervisor at Chloride Exide Company has been charged with stealing company goods worth more than Sh 20 million.
Japheth Shitemi is accused of stealing the said goods which got into his possession by virtue of his employment at Chloride Exide.
Shitemi is alleged to have committed the offense on diverse dates between 31st October 2023 and 1st March 2024.
Some of the items he is said to have stolen are batteries, panels, system controller boshi, megasun support base, solar tanks among others.
