Up to 323 staff of Barclays Bank Kenya left employment last year, the lender has revealed, as it announced a 6.4 per cent drop in full-year net profit to Sh6.9 billion.
Barclays closed last year with 2,268 employees on its payroll, down from 2,591 in 2016.
The bank says most of the staff exited as part of a Sh500 million restructuring that saw the business shut down 12 branches to close the year at 89 outlets, most of them in Nairobi.
