Elizabeth Ragoonanan told the HCU probe the credit union refused to allow her to withdraw funds to take care of her ailing mother. She claimed the lack of funds caused her mother's death.
She added that now her father is terminally ill and she is suffering from mental stress.
The witness also said Harnarine's nephew, Nishad Ramsahai, took money from her family to deposit in their HCU accounts but he never put money intio the accounts. And now, she said, Ramsahai is also missing.
"Nishad used to come home and pick up money and carry it to the credit union and promised to bring back the receipts, which he never did," Ragoonanan said.
"And when we questioned him about it, he would say, 'Tants, I never got the chance; I'm busy but do not worry, I love you like my own mother and father, nothing will happen to your money, it is safe,'" she said.
Ragoonanan said she had planned to take her mother to a private hospital for cardiac by-pass surgery but after the HCU refused to give her her money she went to the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex in Mt Hope.
"If we got that money, my mother would have been alive today," she told the commission. Ragoonanan said despite having money the family had to borrow money to pay her mother's funeral expenses.
