International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Nairobi, has sacked an employee who on Sunday abused security guards at the Lavington Mall.
The unidentified man is also said to have made racist utterances towards a woman who tried calming him down.
According to digital strategist at the President’s office Dennis Itumbi, the man referred to her as a “f****** monkey.”
“A concerned lady whose only interest was to protect the good name of your organization tried to calm him down and he dismissed her as a Monkey,” tweeted Itumbi.
Asante sana #KOT. @ICRC_Nairobi has reached out & promised quick investigations on this matter. They have also reached out to a witness who saw the gentleman harass guards. Appreciated. Apologies to @IFRCAfrica & @ifrc I can confirm this is NOT your staff CC. @YebeltalG. pic.twitter.com/RtYB6xmfMC
