Hiring a contractor in Kenya can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to ensuring that your money is safe. What if the contractor abandons your project? In this post, we will teach you how to protect your money, prevent scams, and recover your losses if the worst happens. The Problem: Contractor Abandons Project When a contractor abandons your project, it can be frustrating and costly. You may have paid a significant amount of money upfront, only to be left with an unfinished project and no way to recover your losses. Prevention: Immani Escrow To prevent this from happening, you can use Immani Escrow (escrow.immanihub.com) to hold your money safely until both parties confirm that the work is complete. Here's how it works:

• The buyer pays via M-Pesa STK push, and the money is held by e-confirm.
• The seller shares a release code with the buyer.
• The buyer enters the release code, and the money is released to the seller.
• Fees are 3%. Using Immani Escrow ensures that your money is safe until the project is complete, giving you peace of mind and protecting you from scams. Recovery: Immani Dispute Resolution If the contractor has already abandoned your project, you can use Immani (immanihub.com) to file a dispute against their phone number for KSh 100. No lawyer is needed, and you don't need to log in. Here's what happens next:

1. You file a dispute against the contractor's phone number.
2. The contractor is notified, and a private window opens for both parties to engage.
3. If the contractor responds, you can negotiate a resolution.
4. If the contractor doesn't respond, the dispute becomes visible to anyone who looks up their phone number on Immani.
