Ethiopian Airlines sues former employee
Sheillah Mapani Herald Reporter
Ethiopian Airlines has taken its former chief customer service agent to the Harare Civil Court for allegedly defrauding it of $1 500.
Penelope Machaka appeared before Harare Civil Court magistrate Ms Sharon Chipanga.
It is alleged that on September 2, 2015, Machaka received $10 234 as the day’s takings from a ticketing agent.
Machaka was authorised by the company to deduct $5 746 from the amount, leaving a balance of $4 487 which was to be banked.
Instead of banking the whole balance, she deposited $2 988 into the company account, the court heard.
To cover up the shortfall of $1 500, Machaka lied to Ethiopian Airlines that an air ticket worth that amount had been issued. She used the money and failed to reimburse the company on demand.
