Kenyans have been called upon to claim their financial assets, as the Unclaimed Financial Assets Authority (UFAA) grapples with a staggering Ksh82 billion in unclaimed financial assets.
Those yet to collect their unclaimed financial assets have been urged to visit UFAA offices and claim the cash, with pressure mounting to disburse the growing lump sum before the timeline expires. "We are looking for the owners of this Ksh82 billion to come and pick the money, our core mandate is not to receive the money and keep it, we receive and reunify the money with the owners.
So we urge Kenyans to come ahead and claim their money," (UFAA) Board Chairman Francis Njenga revealed.
According to UFAA, only Ksh2 million is claimed monthly, and while it is their responsibility to keep the money safe, there is a need for Kenyans to claim the financial assets to avoid a pile-up of unclaimed financial assets.
