The NYS Sh9 billion corruption saga has angered Kenyans who wait with bated breath to see who will be indicted for the misappropriation of funds that were meant to better the lives of young people in the country.
In the midst of the wait, two commercial banks that is Barclays Bank and Consolidated Bank have been on the receiving end after claims that millions of shillings in transactions from the NYS saga were passed through the banks.
Here are some reasons why Kenyans are mad with the two banks, which termed as money laundering financial institutions.
If you bank with @consolidatedBK and @Barclays_Kenya move your MONEY ASAP. A crisis looming. Even Family Bank almost collapsed over NYS saga. Dont say you were never warned. Retweet, share and warn family and friends #MoneyLaunderingBanks— Erick G. Kamau (@Erickgriffinke) May 29, 2018.
When an ordinary Kenyan goes to deposit, withdraw like Sh1M from the banks, they're made to answer questions including the taste of water yet billions were moved with a smooth sail. This itself shows you a crime was aided. #MoneyLaunderingBanks— Kenya West© (@KinyanBoy) May 29, 2018.
Barclays Bank CEO @JeremyAwori yet to resign. Several Accounts linked to NYS money laundering frozen only after detectives sought a court order. Awori never flagged the transaction because he was busy playing golf #MoneyLaunderingBanks pic.twitter.com/1bx9CWXFU2— Cyprian, Is Nyakundi (@C_NyaKundiH) May 29, 2018.
My major question is, why has no bank CEO been arrested over laundering of NYS money? Without these banks, money would not have moved @C_NyaKundiH #MoneyLaunderingBanks— Gilbert Odoyo (@OdoyoGilbert_) May 29, 2018.
The NYS “customers” were offered VIP services including being served from the branch manager’s office where they would enjoy tea as they are served. The Barclays Ruaraka Branch Manager, Lilian Makasembo would personally and dutifully serve the criminals. #MoneyLaunderingBanks— Robert Syundu (@RobertSyundu) May 29, 2018.
The truth is that @consolidatedBK and @Barclays_Kenya must be open to their customers or risk a bank-run. We are aware 13 Bank accounts were frozen in the two banks over NYS money laundering investigations. #MoneyLaunderingBanks— Cyprian, Is Nyakundi (@C_NyaKundiH) May 29, 2018.
