The mass removal of Kenyans from the Oracle Kenya Hub positions have raised eyebrows with local staff now fearing that the new boss is intentionally targeting Kenyans for removal without any clear reasons.
The positions which foreigners were brought in to perform are mostly marketing positions which can only be done by Kenyans as per the immigration regulations.
All the foreigners brought in by Corine have no documents to work in the country, nor are they working to attain any as their positions doesn’t even qualify them to work in the country.
While removing the Kenyans with the help of disgraced former Samsung Kenya executive Mugo Mukunya (HR Lead) and Muthoni Wanyoike (Compliance and Legal Lead), Corine has been indicating that the positions are being scrapped while in the real sense, she advertises most of them even before the Kenyans finishes clearing out.
Pleas to the immigration department of the Interior Ministry to intervene have mostly fell on deaf ears as it is believed that key officials at the immigration department were bribed to look away.
Corine took over from Dr. Gilbert Saggia, who became the Managing Director of SAP East Africa.
