A business woman in Nairobi is at risk of being imprisoned after reportedly withdrawing money send to her mpesa account wrongfully by another person. The amount of money that sums up to almost Ksh 300,000 given that it was Ksh 271, 200.
The lady identified as Elizabeth Karimi is at risk of being jailed for almost 2 years If she won't be able to refund the money to the owner. During a hearing before Kibera High Courts, Elizabeth Karimi pledged guilty of the charges on her and said it was true.
Elizabeth Karimi is one of the many kenyans who chose to withdraw money send to them mistakenly unknown to them that it's against the law and charged as theft and forgery.
Appearing before Kibera Senior Principal Magistrate Philip Mutua on Monday, Elizabeth Karimi Muthoni admitted to withdrawing the money.
It was erroneously sent to her M-Pesa account by Mr Bakar Hussein Mohamed in Kitengela, Kajiado County, on July 14.This should act as a lesson to those Kenyans who tend to use money send to them mistakenly and expecting no actions to be taken against them.
Elizabeth Mueni becomes the second person to be charged by a court of law after allegedly withdrawing money mistakenly wired to them by unknowing citizens.
