A woman in Sabaki, Machakos County is demanding for justice after Kenya Power Director Veska Kangogo allegedly assaulted her a week ago at her business premises.
Beth Njeri alleges that Kangogo stormed her place of work demanding for her son’s phone which had been detained after he failed to pay Ksh.1,000 beer bill.
CCTV footage captured on June 19th at Maybach Zone in Sabaki along Mombasa Road shows Kangogo pushing a waiter into a wines and spirits shop. Seconds later, they are seen leaving and heading to the office where the owner sits as she monitors the business.
Njeri holds onto the door as Kangogo pulls her and hits her on the head with the stick.
Those around are seen taking the stick from her as another group rushes to the office to help an injured Njeri. A security guard going to check on his boss is followed by Kangogo, he turns back and the two are seen in a heated argument. The drama lasted about 10 minutes.
A week after and we visit the scene of the incident. We meet Njeri with a bandage on her head. She tells us that the fracas was as a result of a difference between her employee and Kangogo’s son who had failed to pay his Ksh.1,000 bill at their wines and spirit shop and was forced to leave behind his phone.
“Shida yake ilikuwa anasema kijana yake ameuziwa pombe na ati amenyanganywa simu na huyo kijana hakunyanganywa simu yeye mwenyewe aliwekelea simu in exchange of pombe ndio akipata doh alete ndio apewe simu yake ..,” says Njeri.
On her part, Kangogo who spoke to Citizen TV on phone said she had visited the premises after her son complained that his phone had been stolen at the premises and that she had also reported the matter to the police.
Athi River Sub-County Police Commander Mary Njoki confirmed receiving the complaints from the two and says detectives are still investigating the matter.
