Rokel Commercial Bank is in the news for the wrong reasons, and which is likely to create financial instability for the bank.
State House has been informed of a list of unholy activities over the years directly involving the Managing Director, Ekundayo Gilpin, one of which is the immoral manner some female staff are recruited at the bank which boils down to gender right and harassment.
Already, there is a legitimate complain to the effect, concrete evidence which we have seen and warrants speedy investigation. This has been brought to the attention of the Central Bank and the legal firm of Rowland Wright and Co.
The complainant is a member of the Sierra Leone Bar Association and a senior member official of the bank who will not risk expulsion form the Bar Association for making false allegation.
It was Dr. Gilpin who initial made a complain to the Bank Governor alleging incompetence on the part of the lady, who has been with the bank for about five or more years, and which necessitated the investigation. Why is it only now Dr. Gilpin is accusing her of not being competent to hold her current position in the legal division of the bank is the million-dollar question.
It has also been brought to our attention that the Board Chairman, Buffy Bailor is enjoying facilities he is not entitled to, and Dr. Gilpin is pocketing $30,000 as annual rent even though huge sums was spent by the Bank to renovate his official residence on Hill Station yet he refuses to move in though being maintained by him for other activities in his own interest unconnected with the bank.
Our source tells us he currently resides in a house owned by his brother Brian Gilpin, who served the last regime as personal Assistant to former President Koroma and collecting the annual bank rent.
