My Experience With I&M Bank Read This Before You Trust Them With Your Money
I’ve banked with @imbankke for years and this year alone I moved roughly 7–13 million shillings through my account. Recently, I withdrew 2 million legitimate proceeds from my business.
A week later, I walked back into the branch like I always do and suddenly I was being bounced from the teller to the manager and back again.
Without warning, my account was frozen with close to 5 million shillings locked inside. December. Festive season. School fees coming in January. Zero access to my own money.
They demanded “source of funds” explanations which I gave. They even contacted the source. Still, I was dragged in circles while my life and business were put on hold.
Out of frustration, I involved my lawyer.
Then things got worse.
On 15th December, I received a call from a stranger asking to meet. During that meeting, I was told in plain language that my account could be “helped” and I’d regain access to my money on the condition that I hand over 30% of the total balance.
Think about that. Thirty. Percent. Of my own hard-earned money.
After that, I was suddenly being moved from office to office at the bank and yes, the account was reopened.
Let me be clear: ordinary Kenyans are out here working themselves to the bone to escape poverty while some of the very institutions trusted to keep our money safe are busy squeezing us when we’re most vulnerable.
My advice as someone who has gone through this: Avoid I&M Bank. What I’ve experienced there has destroyed every bit of trust I had in them.
Young Kenyans protect yourselves. Don’t assume the people guarding the vault are on your side. Hunger is everywhere, even in the banking halls.
Farouk never attended any odm events when baba was alive.
Why will he be quick to attend the first ever post Raila ODM delegates meeting?
Your guess is as good as mine.
What made Baba strong ,believable and trusted by Kenyans that the would go left or right when he directed ,was because he was self made politician,who understood all region's local politics;was not a luo leader but national leader ,could be accessed by all leaders on phone,was available ,studied the art of war and 48 laws of power ,could leave a coalition that is against the principles of democracy and run back to the bush to fight,could not be swayed by statehouse money and was never under external control.
The new odm leaders must keep this spirit or forever forget about leading the 20 year old biggest party in north of River Limpopo and south of Sahara desert.
Parroting the loudest in press conferences and sleeping in Bondo around Baba's grave is certainly not one of the qualifications.
Shape up or ship out.
Baba's legacy and odm party will be protected by progressive voices however unpalatable the process.
Kenya needs a renaissance and odm must remain steadfast as a respect to Raila.
@gpdkaluma@RailaOdinga How are we supposed to rank you? If you post an AI generated photo with the year of birth as 1995 and still expect us to listen to you and you cannot even prompt a correction from an AI photo
Makueni Governor Mutula Kilonzo is trending again, and this time not for a new road project or HIV menace in Homabay, but for an unexpected biology practical. Word on the street is that Mutula had been in a relationship with one Wambui Musyoki, eating her food that faces the earth eat kisumoo.
And in the spirit of love, responsibility, and possibly poor judgment, he took care of her and a child he believed was his, splashing over Ksh 15 million besha farifari in the process. Ayaaam telling you, some baby mamas are eating good out there.
But as they say, too many M-Pesa requests spoil the romance. Wambui’s endless “mtoto anataka diapers,, and KFC,, and rent,, and a new iPhone” messages made the governor suspicious. So, Mutula decided to do what any confused man with mangondoo would do,, a DNA test. And behold, science spoke louder than love.
The results screamed to the son of kitui, “You are NOT the father!” Feeling like a graduate from the Great Kalahari Desert University of Science & Technology (K-DUST), Mutula turned to the law, and Wambui was soon arrested. The court reportedly ordered her to refund the millions while she spend the night at the govt owned Airbnb.
Now, this saga has made me stare at my Ka-Liam like, “Do we really look alike, or am I just emotionally invested to that lunje babe called mama Liam?” I'll contact @AssociatesRoba first for best legal advice before anything else bcoz if the DNA results comes & says otherwise, that short woman from Tongaren will find it the hard way.
Zile KDF na Mr. Berry nimenunua kwa hiyo nyumba zinafika sigistiin million thereabout. Because truth be told, many unsuspecting fathers are out here raising kids who might just be community projects. In this country, the law often listens to women before science gets a word in.
A child that is yours can suddenly become “not yours,” while one that isn’t yours might be stamped “property of Omwami” depending on the mood of the lady in question. And if she doesn’t want you to know she was ever pregnant? My brother, even Google Maps won’t help you find that baby!
Lakini Murima babes can be very dangerous sometimes, na kachakwa akiwaambia msiguse Murimaa mnasema ni mkabila. Omwami ile Vumbi utalamba, even inhalers won't salvage your kahasho. May Yehova Wanyonyi remember his poor boyshauuds in that thing called Mareej, si rahisi. Kama kawa sisi walala hoii hatuna maoni, Letu Jicho tu. 👀
