A judge has sided with the Co-operative Bank of Kenya for flagging and freezing a bank account belonging to a union until confusion over signatories is resolved.

Mr Elijah Otieno Awach filed the case in May accusing Co-op Bank of flagging an account belonging to the Kenya Union of Water and Sewerage Employees, Buruburu branch, stopping withdrawals temporarily until the union resolved the issue of signatories to the account.
