A section of civil society groups has accused East African Principal Secretary Abdi Fidhow of assaulting a domestic worker and attempting to cover up the incident.
Speaking at Jevanjee Gardens yesterday, the human rights groups claimed that relatives of the PS allegedly attacked Miriam Atieno Akello last Saturday, causing bodily harm.
“While she undertook all the measures necessary to report the case to the police at Kilimani police station under the OB no 38/18/5/2024 in order to have the perpetrators brought to justice, we are perturbed by the slow nature this matter is taking,” said Marion Njoroge.
Njoroge said that after the attack, the perpetrators even went ahead and confiscated her phone contrary to her right to freedom from torture and freedom from unreasonable seizures of her property.
“ It is very sad that we have people who are using their positions to harm others because they think they are above the law. We are telling all the investigative agencies led by the DPP to take action as early as now,’ said Njoroge.
