At its peak, Tuskys had more than 6,000 employees and over 60 branches across Kenya and Uganda. In 2015, the retailer hired loss-prevention firm Hipora Business Solutions East Africa to help tackle fraud. An audit found that Tuskys was losing more than 100m Kenya shillings (£581,000; $770,000) a month to employee theft, Business Daily reported. The alleged schemes included cashiers pocketing money, manipulating till transactions, and colluding with suppliers over goods received.
