A popular entertainment joint along Muchai Drive, off Ngong Road, Nairobi, has been exposed for failing to pay its workers.
Speaking to us on Thursday, December 22, 2022, an employee at Royal Betley Lounge said that aside from delayed dues, the management is notorious for mistreatment and intimidation.
Staff working at the nightclub have no access to benefits like the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) or the National Social Security Fund (NSSF).
To make matters worse, they compel their workforce to report to their duties every day.
Some have already given up, and there are rumors of a looming mass exodus.
“Hi Nyakundi.
I’m texting from Royal Bentley Lounge, the reason being that it is now 3 months without payment.
There is rampant threatening of staff, no NHIF or NSSF, and no leaves.
We work from Monday to Monday, no relaxing at all.
Please come on board to help staff have a voice,” the source wrote.
