NAIROBI, Kenya, Dec 9 – Rixxos club which is at the centre of a controversy when a female employee alleged that she was harassed after asking for her pay now claims that the whole incident was fabricated.
According to the management, the video recording is part of a larger scheme by a section of employees who use blackmail and threats to intimidate and steal from the company.
Through a statement, the management indicated that some employees were even arrested for stealing from the club.
“Recently,as the Rixxos management,we had issues with a few of our waitresses and a barman which we reported to the DCI officers on 24th November,” the statement indicated.
It added that the DCI officers offered help and arrested the workers on 1st December 2022 on suspicion of stealing and defrauding from the company.
The management claimed that past Mpesa codes have fictitiously been used by the employees to settle bills.
The management says problems between the company and the employees began when those arrested were released on bond and came demanding their pay.
The company now stated that it will not make any further comments due to the ongoing investigations.
In a video released online, the owner is seen in a heated discussion with one of the employees.
The employees had accused the owner of non payment of wages.
