Kenyans called for the immediate deportation of a Chinese individual captured on camera on a racist rant describing President Uhuru Kenyatta and Kenyans as "black, poor, monkeys."
In the footage, the Chinese man appears to be addressing a Kenyan employee at a motorcycle dealership whom he fires towards the end of the video, telling him to collect his letter.
As the individual began using racist slurs, the Kenyan employee put him on the spot, asking why he was in Kenya if he considered the people "poor monkeys".
The employee told off the Chinese man informing that he would not work there forever, advising him to do business in the West or back in China if he hated Kenya so much.
The visibly flustered Chinese man maintained that he was only in the country "because money is important."

The video sparked an uproar on social media with Kenyans calling for the man to be identified and action taken.
Among them was Embakasi East MP Babu Owino who demanded that the Asian man be immediately deported, tagging Interior CS Fred Matiang'i and the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
"This idiot MUST be deported back to China ASAP! Wametuzoea sasa!" he tweeted.
Enraged Kenyans pointed out the irony of the video's emergence as President Kenyatta returned from Beijing, China for the China-Africa summit.
A number of agreements were signed even as Uhuru described the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) as the high-point of Kenya-China relations.
