- The miraculous healing of Gladys Kamande has taken a turn
for the worse
- She, her family and Ndungu Nyoro are embroiled in a battle
over the millions of shillings Kenyans raised for her treatment in India
-Her family claims Nyoro refused to release funds for
successive treatments and she's back in ICU
- Nyoro, however, claims the drama started when the family
had other plans for the money, like buying a plot
- He also demanded accountability for hundreds of thousands
of shillings misappropriated no one in Kamande's family wants to clarify the matter
on Seven months ago, Kenyans came together and raised millions of shillings for
Gladys Kamande, a woman who had been blind, had suffered 7 miscarriages and was
living on life support.
This was after her life story went viral on social media
when it was revealed that her complications begun in 2015, and that she was an
abused wife. Social media humanitarian champion, Ndungu Nyoro, took up her
cause and rallied Kenyans to raise funds to take Kamande to India for
treatment. She returned with her eye sight restored and less dependency on a
gas mask and tank to breathe
She was celebrated for overcoming her troubles as she also
hosted a thanks giving event as everyone prayed God for her miracleS. However,
on Wednesday, July 19, a relative of Kamande, Fred Kahura, took to social media
to claim Kamande was back in ICU after Nyoro refused to release funds for her
successive treatments in India. “She and her daughter returned to India but
unfortunately, they were not attended to simple because someone in the name of
a signatory to her account didn’t send the money. They became refugees and
their passports were taken. They did not have any money for food or for the
hotel they stayed in,
“Gladys’ mum had to ask for a loan for her daughter to
return home and since she wasn’t treted, she is at a private hospital’s
Intensive Care Unit in Komarock. She’s back on the gas tank and now, Nyoro is
trying to defend himself. He won’t get away with Gladys’ money. Where is her 9
million?” wrote Kahura.
On Friday, July 21, Nyoro responded to the accusations,
revealing a series of transactions he termed as suspect.
“I am always certain it was a conspiracy. How ungrateful can
some people be? A group of unhappy friends teamed up, ropped in GLADYS KAMANDE
and the game was done. Target? I be removed as a signatory from funds raised by
the public so that someone else can have a field day,

“First they said
Gladys was not treated because I refused to send money. I have attached a bill
from BLK Hospital in India which I managed to get from the hospital yesterday.
You can clearly see
that she was treated and at the bottom of the bill they have indicated on the
payments made,
“They also said I'm
holding KSh 9M , I'll attach later a bank statements showing all details. Last
few weeks alone we did 3 withdrawals amounting to KSh. 400, 000. This is the
amount I demanded for accountability.

“As soon as she can be able to respond to questions I would
like her to answer the following: We have so far sent KSh 4.5M shillings for
her treatment. The first trip we are able to get receipts accounting KSh 1M,
the second trip about KSh0.4M. Can she account for the rest? That's my humble
question, “At some point she (Kamande) identified a plot of land worth KSh
1.5M. I requested her to allow us go through treatment until the doctors give clean
bill of health. She was unhappy but I thought that was the best option for now.
I am guilty as charged. I am guilty for demanding proper use of funds, on
behalf of the contributors. I know how difficult it is to convince people to
sacrifice their cash only for it to be spent buying expensive things and
showing off to the very poor contributors,” wrote Nyoro on social media.
