Dear @KeEquityBank, My 72 yr dad is languishing in Poverty in Nyeri. He had a savings of 475k. Equity is not willing to raise the issue to the fraud teams for investigation. All his savings have mysteriously vanished from his account.@KeEquityBank #EquityBankTheft @DCI_Kenya pic.twitter.com/JAmr59YLvV
