My mother’s house helper went to Saudi for two years to try and improve her life and that of her 5-year-old kid. While there, she sent most of her pay to her aunt’s Barclays account for her aunt to tunza.
She tells me her monthly pay was approximately 45,000/month, and she had most of it deposited in her aunts account in Kenya from Saudi.
Upon her return last year, he aunt told her that only 100,000/= was left and it was in a one year fixed account. She ended up needing that cash before the year was out to pay school fees.
The clincher: Her aunt told her that the bank charges 70% penalties for early withdrawal iow she lost 70,000/= I knew immediately that the aunt is conning the poor girl.
Since the money is in her aunt’s name, does she have any recourse of recovering the 100,000/= and more importantly the larger amount she had been sending while in Saudi?
TIA for your answer.
