A German national has fled Kenya after police launched investigations into alleged racial discrimination and assault accusations against him.
Hinteregger Jurgen, a supervisor at a foreign company that is constructing the Sh20 billion Thiba dam in Mwea, Kirinyaga County, allegedly sneaked out of the country on Sunday.
The 47-year-old secretly left the country a day after he was summoned by officials from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) for questioning.
Kirinyaga East police commander Antony Wanjuu said the foreigner was supposed to return to Kirinyaga DCI offices on Monday but did not show up.
"He was supposed to return on Monday for further interrogation but failed to do so and escaped to his country of origin. The company management has confirmed that the foreigner has left," said Wanjuu.
Jurgen, who was employed by Strabag Company, is accused of beating Kenyan workers at the construction site and referring to them as bushmen.
The German was arrested and grilled on Saturday after six workers accused him of verbal and physical abuse. The workers described him as a brutal and ruthless man.
Strabag's manager in Kenya James Karanja said the suspect traveled back to his country without informing the company.
"Jurgen called and informed us that he is already back at his home country. We were shocked when we learned that he is not within Kenya," said Karanja.

Kenyans should have beaten him up and not reported to the police. Any other country he would have been taught a lesson.
Kenyans are afraid of these foreigners, pigs pound Ngumi.
If he can be racist in a foreign land (Kenya) how racist is he towards blacks in his own country?
History repeating itself. We must study history from our ancestors not from foreigners so we know exactly who they are. During Imperialism, colonialism, neo-colonialism, and currently multi-corporation; world order/disorder, they are the same people who maimed, raped,sodomized,hanged,and killed our forefathers. Nothing new here.
They will not change. It is us and our attitude that need to change.
Only low self-esteem and lack of self worth of the African will let us entertain this kind of rubbish! Do you see any Africans behaving like this in western nations and getting away with it?
Little piece of cowardly shit! Tougher measures should've been undertaken. Let that contract end- kila mtu kwao😳 Can you imagine a Kenyan doing this in Germany?
The contract with this company should be withdrawn with fines if the DCI is taking this matter seriously.
Je, wanafunzi wengi waliohitimu masomo yao na kupata shahada ya uzamivu si waende wakafanye kazi iliyokuwa ikifanywa na Mjerumani huyu? Kwani shahada zetu ni za kuweka ukutani tu?
Ningependa kuona wanafunzi waliosomea mambo ya teknolojia wakitumia uwezo wa miale ya jua (sun's rays) na kutengeneza meko (jiko - meko) yanayotumia mwangaza wa jua? Jambo hili linatasaidia sana kuhifadhi misitu yetu kwa sababu wapika chakula hawatahitaji kukata miti ili wapate kuni za kupikia chakula wakiwa na meko kama haya.
And Wanjiku is still being talked over the 2022 agenda, yet these goons have done literally nothing with the 2017 agenda that they were telling us prior to that. Even foreigners are falling on Wanjiku like hungry hyenas....how can this mzungu thing happen in 2019???
I wish a MotherF****r would, I'll burn him in him in his house..It would be a different police phone call..
Hawa ndugu zetu wa kutoka Yuropa wana ugonjwa mkubwa sana na pia mbaya sana wa rangi. Ugonjwa huu unatokana na kutomtambua MWUMBAJI MKUU ambaye aliumba kila kitu ulimwenguni mzima.
Na sisi pia tunamtukana MWUMBAJI MKUU tunapotumia kemikali (chemicals) za kubadilisha rangi tuliyopewa na MWUMBAJI MKUU na pia kuvaa nywele bandia (wigs). Jambo ambalo sielewi kwa Wafrika wanaobadilisha rangi ya ngozi yao na nywele zao ni hili: kwa nini unataka kuchukua sura ya mtu ambaye anakuchukia na pia anamchukia MWUMBAJI MKUU kwa kumkosoa (criticize) kwa kazi yake kubwa ya kuumba ulimwengu?
