Shocking Details of How Deported Racist Chinese Man's Company Mistreated Kenyan Workers Emerge

Shocking details of how the company run by a deported Chinese national mistreated Kenyan workers have emerged.

Sonlink's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Liu Jiaqi was deported to China last week by immigration authorities after he was caught on camera referring to Kenyans as monkeys and insulting President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Workers at Sonlink K. Limited, a Chinese company dealing in motorcycles along the Northern Bypass in Ruiru have exposed what Kenyans working at the firm were put through. 

For instance, local workers at the company are deducted Sh1,000 from their small salaries for each phone call they miss from the boss.

Further, the company cuts Sh50 for every minute a Kenyan worker arrives late to work regardless of the prevailing situation, the Standard reports. Company regulations state that lateness penalty starts counting immediately after 8:30 am.

“Time after 8:31am and 13:31pm treat as late. Fine Sh50 for every minute of lateness,” reads rule number four.

As if this is not enough, making noise, laughing and unaccounted 15-minute movement could see you fired or denied the day's pay.

“Every employee must stick to the work. No laughing. No noise. If (you) leave the position for 15 minutes without reasons. Treat it as absence,” say the rules.

Every employee must sign in and out four times each day; at 8:30am, 12:30pm, 13:30pm, 17:30pm or report to the firm's management in case they fail to.

The employee who recorded the deported company CEO spewing racist remarks is said to have been fined Sh2,000 and was being forced to append his signature to the letter penalizing him.

“Insults here are a common occurrence and we just persevere to keep our jobs,” an employee told The Standard.
