It seems Moses Kuria, the man of many portfolios, embarked on a whirlwind adventure through the halls of government, only to find himself in a comedic conundrum. Starting off strong as the Cabinet Secretary for Investments, Trade, and Industry, he was the talk of the town. But alas, fate had other plans.

The former trader has been sentenced to five years in jail, two of them suspended, and ordered to repay the bank the entire EUR4.9 billion.

Kerviel admitted lying to colleagues, falsifying documents and entering fake trades when he stood trial in in June over the trading losses, which came to light in 2008.

According to CNN, Kerviel's lawyer, Olivier Metzner, called the verdict "unreasonable" and plans to appeal within the allotted 10 days.
