A source has brought to light allegations of rampant unprofessionalism, nepotism, racism, and tribalism within ride-hailing and on-demand services provider company Faras Kenya located at AEA Plaza, Valley Road, Nairobi.
According to the source who spoke to cnyakundi.com under the request of anonymity, unqualified Kenyans of Somali descent are being favoured for management positions due to personal ties with senior staff, creating an oppressive work atmosphere dominated by the Somali language.
Staff raising concerns are met with heavy retaliation, while drivers are being unfairly treated with blocked accounts and violations of company policy.
The situation is said to be deteriorating rapidly.
“Good afternoon Nyakundi. I hope you’re well. Kindly hide my name. I want to bring into attention the unprofessionalism, nepotism, racism, and tribalism happening at Faras Kenya office at AEA Plaza. Kenyans of Somali origin are getting elevated to managerial positions without qualifications because they are related to someone at the senior management. When you try to highlight these issues, you are threatened with warning letters or even a demotion. Somali is the language of communication both externally and internally in this office. The management doesn’t care about their drivers. They are blocking drivers’ accounts without warning and before the driver gets to the 40% threshold per the company’s policy. Kindly address this issue as it is worsening every day.”
