Was She Underpaid? How Nyachae’s Maid Got Away with 5 Million

News that former cabinet secretary Simeone Nyachae lost over 5 million shillings courtesy of her house help has left a section of Kenyans shocked while others have apparently applauded the house help.

Some Kenyans are even questioning why Nyachae’s family would store a whooping 5 million shillings in his house.

Police have now launched a haunt  for the run-away house help with Court documents showing that 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.

The money was stolen from a safe belonging Mr Nyachae’s wife while she had travelled to the UK to attend to her ailing husband.

Police wanted the maid’s daughter, Grace Waitura, “who picked her from the residence and escorted her to Kitengela” detained for a week to complete investigations, but a court rejected the request.

The documents reveal Mr Nyachae’s wife, Grace Wamuyu, found her safe empty on October 8 after an eight-day stay in the UK.

She had left her four employees taking care of the home, but one had fled.

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.
