On investments: Fraud Investigations at Old Mutual
by ndungu stephen 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

http://www.nation.co.ke/magazines/smartcompany/-/1226/802476/-/item/0/-/jtf… Anyone saving at Old Mutual ? I know its non-techy but i feel that we should be fore warned. I saved quite an amount with Old Mutual and later realized that something is wrong. I saved for like two years and everytime I called - they said that you keep saving and fruits will be seen after 5 or more years. A lawyer looked at the policy document and decided that it was absolutely wak ! There were no promises to uphold the contract, terminate or protect your investment, as promised by word of mouth. I tried to quit - then they would tell you one thing by mouth as how to "gracefully" exit - in terms you find acceptable by mouth - but when it came to paper work, they did calculations that lost me over 50% of my savings. If you know anyone in these "investments schemes" or you are in one yourself with Old mutual, be ware.

This is likely to put the firm on the spot, as the market has become hyper-cautious of irregularities on the part of those trusted with investor funds. Although the magnitude of the irregularities is yet to be made public, the level of those involved could be a pointer. Late last week information indicated that the suspended staff included a manager in finance and officials at different levels.

DHL Easy Shop
by David Kiania | Asentric Consulting Ltd 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

DHL have introduced a concept called the Easy Shop designed at clients who'd like to do online purchase. It works as like this: - 1) Go to any DHL Service Center and register (in person). You'll be required to pay up Ksh. 2320 2) You'll get an account number and a US Address which you will use as the shipping address whenever you make online purchases. 3) Your merchandise will be sent to this address and you will be notified upon arrival and dispatch from the US. 4) The tariff charged is a minimum of Ksh 4118 +VAT for 1.5 KG and below. Thereafter you'll be charged Ksh. 500 for every half KG +VAT of course have to add the respective KRA Duties and Levies. 5) The items will then be cleared from customs according to procedure and delivered to the service center. Hope this is helpful to someone, consolidation can help make the shipping rates palatable.
