Court Suspends CS Matiang’i Order to Deport Four Chinese Nationals Who Canned Kenyan Waiter

A Nairobi court on Wednesday suspended a deportation order for four Chinese nationals who were arrested after one of them was filmed canning a Kenyan restaurant worker.

The deportation order signed by Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i on February 13th was suspended by High Court Justice Luka Kimaru after the four Chinese citizens filed an application challenging it.

Justice Kimaru further directed the prosecution to file responses to the application by the Chinese nationals by Friday, February 21st. The application was certified as urgent with the court directing that the matter is heard inter-party on February 25th.

The four; Deng Hailan, Chang Yueping, Ou Qiang and Yu Ling were arrested after detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) raided Chez Wou Restaurant in Kileleshwa, Nairobi on February 9th.

The raid came hours after a video clip showing Hailan, a chef at the restaurant, canning a Kenyan waiter went viral on social media. After the arrest, it was discovered that Hailan did not have a valid work permit.

Yueping and Qiang, who are both chefs at the restaurant, were holding expired visas while Yu Ling, a cashier, was holding a visitor’s visa but without a work permit.

They are all facing charges of assault and causing actual bodily harm and their case was set to be mentioned on March 4th but CS Matiang’i signed the deportation order just hours after the court allowed police to hold the four for 15 days pending completion of investigations.

First they show no respect for uhuru calling him a monkey. They get away with that and from then onwards no respect for any kenyan. If they did this in any other country they would be physically man handled, jailed and then deported.

Until we begin taking matters into our own hands, the government will not understand our frustrations.

Due process people, let them get a day in court and face immigration laws. Hope we are not excited by Matian'gis populist decision.

This is a time when due process should NOT apply.When koffi olomide kicked his dancer he was immediately deported.Kanda bongo man was not allowed back in Kenya after he threw darts at Moi’s then side dish Katherine kasavuli.Somebody should shank them in whatever jail they are at.Every man has his price.Jeffrey Epstein was murdered in a high security prison who are these turds.Time Kenyans reminded them this is not their land if they think they are safer in jail.

These Chinese people should be jailed first for the criminal activities then deported for the immigrants violations. They asked for it. If they never caned the waiter, the law was silent on them.
