Foreign banks reportedly rejected a deposit of KSh. 679 million in Kenyan currency into their accounts, leaving Machakos Governor Hon. Wavinya Ndeti stranded overseas.
Foreign banks allegedly refused to allow Machakos Governor Hon. Wavinya Ndeti to deposit Kenyan funds in their accounts, leaving her stranded abroad.
According to reliable sources, authorities in the United Kingdom declined the transaction, citing concerns about the legitimacy of the funds.
The arrest of Governor Wavinya’s son, Charlie Oduwale, for possessing Ksh. 679 million escalated the situation.
After she failed to provide a satisfactory explanation for how she acquired such a substantial amount of money, authorities detained her.
In a bid to resolve the matter, Governor Wavinya informed UK authorities that the funds were meant for the Machakos County Government.
According to the allegations, she informed UK authorities that she intended to use the funds to build a Level 5 hospital for Machakos residents who were living abroad.
However, the UK authorities remain unconvinced, leading to further complications in her efforts to bank the money.
It is important to note that this is not the first time Governor Wavinya has faced challenges banking large sums of money overseas.
She has previously deposited millions in countries such as Dubai, China, and France, raising concerns about the nature and source of these funds.
The move comes after she was on the spot after buying Sufuria worth Ksh 40,000 for chama and branding it with her picture and name.
