Preparations to pick a discharged husband from a London hospital cost Grace Wamuyu, the wife to billionaire ex-minister Simion Nyachae, millions of money.
In court papers submitted at Milimani Law Courts, reports the Nation, Mrs. Nyachae opened a safe in her bedroom to get some money in preparation for the UK tour, only to forget keys dangling on it.
Mrs Nyachae says on September 28, 2018 she opened her safe box, which was in her bedroom, to get some cash but she forgot to take back the safe keys.
On September 30, she travelled to the UK and left the four employees to man the home. She returned to Kenya on October 7, 2018 with her husband and the following day, October 8, 2018, she found the safe empty and keys in the key hole.
“The investigation commenced and Grace Waitura was arrested on October 29, 2018 on the strength of the Safaricom phone calls data which showed she had picked the suspect and escorted her to Kitengela area,” and affidavit sworn by a CPL Jacob Mong’are says.https://mobile.nation.co.ke/news/Hunt-on-for-Nyachae-house-help/1950946-4831990-ac4kcbz/index.html.
Court documents show Lilian Maina is being pursued after she allegedly disappeared with Sh2 million and £20,000 (Sh2.6 million) and $5,000 (Sh508,500), pushing the loss to Sh5.1 million.
Since returning home, the couple's house help Lilian Maina, has gone missing with police launching manhunt for her with strong believes that she stole the money.
Police detained her daughter, Grace Wambugu on grounds that she picked her mother from Spring Valley to Kitengela on the day the money is suspected to have gone missing but she would be later released on Wednesday.
“The respondent has information of the whereabouts of the suspect and if released it will be difficult to effect arrest and make recovery of the stolen money,” police argued before Magistrate Kennedy Cheruiyout released her.
Mr. Nyachae has been in London for treatment since April this year after complaining about chest pains.
He retired in 2007 after losing his parliamentary seat to Robert Monda, a little known politician from his Nyaribari Chache home.
