Gladys Kamande locks horns with Ndugu Nyoro over 9.6 million treatment money raised by Kenyans

Who’s telling the truth? Gladys Kamande claims that funds drive manager Ndugu Nyoro has refused to release money for her treatment while the accused says there is a big conspiracy by Gladys’ family to use the money raised by Kenyans for personal gain.

So far Kes 4.5 million has been spent on Gladys Kamande’s treatment, she travelled to India for specialized treatment that saw her get rid of the oxygen tank that assisted her in breathing.

Drama however started after Kamande returned to Kenya, the remaining Kes 5 million in the account is the reason why she clashed with Ndugu Nyoro.

Ndugu Nyoro claims Gladys wanted to buy a plot of land with part of the money and he couldn’t allow her since the money was raised for the sole purpose of catering for her treatment.

Gladys was unhappy with Nyoro’s refusal and she conspired with her family to taint Ndugu Nyoro’s name by claiming he had refused to release money for her treatment.

“I am almost certain it was a conspiracy. How ungrateful can some people be? A group of unhappy friends teamed up, brought GLADYS KAMANDE on board and the game was done. Target? I be removed as a signatory from funds raised by the public so that someone else can have a field day.

“First they said Gladys was not treated because I refused to send money. I have attached a bill from BLK Hospital in India which I managed to get from the hospital yesterday. You can clearly see that she was treated and at the bottom of the bill they have indicated on the payments made.

“They also said I’m holding Kshs 9M , I’ll attach later a bank statements showing all details. Last few weeks alone we did 3 withdrawals amounting to Ksks. 400, 000. This is the amount I demanded for accountability.

“I have attached a second picture indicating the communication I got from hospital and the amount required. Somebody ask her how much we sent for this particular surgery. We withdrew the cash, gave it to her mother who confirmed to us it was sent.

“We paid timely all her air tickets including her daughter’s. Now they have ganged up against me. I hate dramas. As soon as she can be able to respond to questions I would like her to answer the following…

“We have so far sent 4.5M shillings for her treatment. The first trip we are able to get receipts accounting 1M, the second trip about 0.4M. Can she account for the rest? That’s my humble question.

“I always say I’m open to questions, even now I’m ready. But one thing is clear, when you approach me to assist you fundraise I’ll stick around until the funds are used for that particular purpose.

“At some point she identified a plot of land worth Kshs 1.5M. I requested her to allow us go through treatment until the doctors give clean bill of health. She was unhappy but I thought that was the best option for now.

“I am guilty as charged. I am guilty for demanding proper use of funds, on behalf of the contributors. I know how difficult it is to convince people to sacrifice their cash only for it to be spent buying expensive things and showing off to the very poor contributors. God help me,” Ndugu Nyoro wrote.

Saturday July 22nd Gladys told the Standard that she was unable to pay for her treatment at the Komarock Modern Hospital (she was admitted there) because Nyoro refused to release the money her medication for the last four months.

“I am not the signatory to those funds so I wouldn’t know where that money has gone to. I have never gone to the bank to withdraw even a single shilling. Right now everyone says I am the one at fault. I have been abused from Thursday and told so many things including that I lied about my sickness,” Gladys told the Standard.

Nyoro was infuriated by Standard’s claims that he hasn’t supported Gladys’ treatment in the last 4 months. He produced documents to prove he released money meant for Gladys’ treatment in the said period.

“To be honest I never saw this coming. To an extent of someone reporting on a reputable media like STANDARD that I have never supported her treatment in the last 4 months?

“The first picture attached is a medical bill from the hospital she was treated in June/July. At the foot of the bill are two transactions for paying the bill. One is through cash and the other electronically.

“Where did the cash come from? The attached are SOME of the receipts indicating money sent via WESTERN UNION.

“The transaction done electronically can also be captured from where it was done. We shall get bank statements at Kasarani then we can have our conclusions.

“All these because I asked someone to ACCOUNT? It’s o.k,” Ndugu Nyoro wrote.
