Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Passaris has condemned the heinous act and is looking for a woman who was beaten by her employer revealed in a viral video.
She took to Facebook and shared a post with a caption, “This behavior is utterly appalling and completely unacceptable. There is absolutely no justification for any employer to resort to physical assault against their employee.”
Additionally,” We have established mechanisms in place to address and resolve work-related conflicts peacefully and effectively. My office is actively seeking the woman depicted in this video, and urgent action will be taken.”
The emergence of CCTV footage capturing a businessman brutally assaulting a female employee has sparked widespread public outrage.

Robert Mathenge Kariithi, who owns Fancy Buys in Kawangware Seniors Park, was identified as the alleged assailant.
The video depicts a troubling scene unfolding within the business premises, where Kariithi is seen physically assaulting the female employee.
However, crucial details surrounding the incident remain unclear, as the CCTV footage fails to provide context regarding the events leading up to the assault.
In the footage, Kariithi can be observed shouting at the female employee while subjecting her to a barrage of physical abuse, including slaps and kicks.
Despite the victim’s attempts to defend herself, she is unable to escape the aggression, eventually seeking refuge behind a clothes stand, only to be forcibly pushed against it by the aggressor.
