Photos of Francis Atwoli’s ‘Mzungu’ House Help Create a Stir Online

Photos of a ‘Mzungu’ woman believed to be Central Organization of Trade Unions (Cotu) secretary-general Francis Atwoli’s house help have caused a stir online.

The photos were shared by Atwoli’s youngest wife Mary Kilobi on Instagram, where the woman is seen serving her and her colleague at KTN Sophia Wanuna at Atwoli’s palatial home in Kajiado.

The pictures show the two being washed hands and served drinks by the Caucasian lady who is wearing a green t-shirt and blue jeans.

“Yes, it’s that cold in Kajiado,” Kilobi captioned the photos.

Although Atwoli is known to lead a flashy lifestyle, Kenyans online were surprised to learn that he has ‘Mzungu’ servants in his home.

Online users talked of the reserved roles as the whites are perceived to be served but not to serve. 

Nderirubob said: “…if I get filthy rich, imma hire a whole team of white servants, have them all wearing that red fez hat while serving me tea while on their knees calling me ‘Memsahib, is the temperature good?” Colonise the colonialists.”

Stella Kanyanya wrote: “I don’t know why this has made me happy.”

Jeremy Adoyo said: “Atwoli and Idi Amin, same WhatsApp group.”

Kennedy Didi noted: “This would make Idi Amin smile from the grave.”

Crispus Kihara tweeted: “Racially inferior people feel validated by other races…case in point.”

Ben Mogire said: “Atwoli is the real OG.”

Mtaita Mkauma said: “Probably Eastern European. Cheap labor.”

Stop Corona posed: “How did the lady get a work permit for a job Kenyans can do.”

Many local Kenyans are looking for work. Being served by a mzungu doesn't validate anything. It is the same attitude that makes some black men marry white women to show off. It is the same attitude, "look, this was made by a mzungu, or it came from wazungu land." It is not better than the local women, food prepared and served by Kenyans.

Is she a Kenyan?

Because if she’s not , how did she get a work permit to work as a house-help in Kenya?

Atwoli needs to be arrested for human trafficking. This unacceptable.

There is nothing special here. She needs the money! Period. Problem with you Africans is that you suffer inferiority complex. It is just the skin and hair....nothing else.

....indeed, we can see how "cold" it is... braggadocios flaunters... Mundu aria ahuuna ahubere nda... yaani, if you are blessed to have something to eat to your fill, cover your stomach, don't go showing off...maybe some haven't eaten for days.... Mary, I always thought you knew better than this... but again, it's your right.

Nothing burger here. I am alway served by white folks (and other races) when I go to the restaurant. They even mow my lawn and do handy jobs like plumbing; those that I am unwilling to do.

Why are Kenyans complaining when the shoe is on the other foot? Not every white person is rich. Another white girl was makanga few years ago.

Kenyans love servitude. To put a poorer person down. Why would someone be washed hands? Can't they walk to a tap? No wonder diabetes is killing most of these lazy and bossy Kenyans

SERIOUSLY...THIS AIN'T NEWS...THIS IS JUST FOR PHOTO OPS..AND IF ITS TRUE...WHO CARES...
BUT JAMENI INFERIORITY COMPLEX ITAISHA LINI??

Haitaishi hiyo inferiority complex! You see Atwoli’s wife is worshipping the house worker because of the color of her skin. She even brought in Wanuna to show her what she got!

Maria feels she is better of served by a white woman than her own needy women! The money she paying the muzungu could pay 10 local women so they can afford to send their kids to High School.

It is Maria who has the worst inferior complex in her inner self because she is showing Kenyans who don’t know any better; neneneneee, look at what I go serving me! Wazungus are the worst cooks in the world! I barely can stand a hamburger wrapped up by a muzungu!
