In Voi Branch They Want 1500 So That They Can Register You. Is That Fair
They are not really stealing from you.Just ask for receipt for it.Or better still they actually ask you to pay through Mpesa. If that’s the case that money goes to your account and you won’t need to pay for the next three months …they just don’t tell you that.
