The owner of Quiver Lounge in Kitengela confirmed that a manager accused of sexually harassing female staffers with an ultimatum of being fired has been suspended.
Speaking on a video clip that Nominated Senator Gloria Orwoba shared on Thursday afternoon, the owner revealed that investigations into the manager's conduct had been launched.
He further noted that the establishment was in the process of restoring contracts with the establishment's workers that had been illegally dismissed by the manager.
"It has been a disturbing occurrence to us. So far we are investigating that issue. As it is, the said manager has been suspended pending investigations," the owner explained.
"We have also invited the law enforcement authorities to ensure that should there be any such incidents, then the perpetrators have been brought to book."
"We disassociate ourselves from any such acts and we have identified a few of our staff who were recently dismissed. We have recalled them. For those who were wrongfully dismissed, we will reinstate them as the investigations go on," he added.
The Senator, who appeared in the clip, noted that she took over the matter after the scandal went viral on social media.
The lawmaker further confirmed that some of the victims had shared evidence of the harassment with her, which she forwarded to the police investigating the issue.
"I took over the matter and met the owner of the establishment," she stated.
"Two things we have agreed and they have already done, the manager has been suspended. I have a lot of evidence sent to me by some of the victims which I will hand over to investigating authorities," she explained noting that she championed the re-employment of the staff members interested in getting their jobs back.
In one of the clips that went viral on Wednesday, a former waitress at the Quiver Lounge shared her experience noting that most managers in the nightclubs forced female workers to sleep with them or face the sack.
She further called on owners of nightclubs to employ professional managers and end the behaviour that made the lives of women miserable.
