Ndungu Nyoro and Gladys Kamande had been embroiled in a fierce tussle over millions of shillings Kenyans contributed towards Gladys’ medical treatment.
The last time Ndugu Nyoro talk about the scuffle with Gladys he revealed that he was going to transfer the remaining millions to her account in a bid to absolve himself from any blame in mismanagement of the funds raised by Kenyans.

It turns out that Nyoro and Gladys agreed to split the money in half after holding a meeting with other concerned parties to resolve the impasse.
“On 2nd August, Gladys Kamande, her daughter Annita, her mom Jane Kabaria, her brother Mwangi Kamande, a family friend Mwangi, 3 members of Mercy Ministry namely Winnie Maina, Kahindo Waraho Prince Paul, Cllr John Kibue, a media representative and an advocate held a meeting at Boulevard Hotel Nairobi.
“The matter was discussed at length but finally came to a conclusion. The members in attendance scrutinized all documents tabled and agreed we can now close the chapter. Of the verified Bank statement, the available Balance was Kshs 4.3M
“The hospital bill plus Gladys’ cash for local use summed up to Kshs. 300,000 leaving a balance of Kshs. 4M. Members indicated to the family that majority of Kenyans were not comfortable with entire amount being given out to them for comfort yet many Kenyans are stuck in hospitals for lack of funds to facilitate basic treatment.
“At the request of Gladys Kamande’s mum, those in attendance agreed to transfer Kshs 2M to Gladys Kamande for her future hospital travels and the balance of Kshs. 2M be retained to assist other Kenyans in need of medical intervention,” Ndungu Nyoro wrote in part.
Nyoro used part of the 2 million he got from Gladys’ medical money to pay hospital bill for 12 patients who were restrained at Kenyatta Hospital because of unpaid bills.
