The nominated senator went ahead to acknowledge that necessary steps have been taken and pointed out that sometimes employees can really alter the normal functioning of a business.
“I have a lot of evidence handed over to me and I shall pass it to the police for investigations. Also, what I have learnt is that saa zingine unaeza kuwa na manager mmoja ambaye anaharibu kazi ya mtu ameng’ang’ana,” Orwoba said.
This video sparked reactions on Twitter (X) with Kenyans expressing support for Orwoba’s actions to follow up on the sexual allegations case.

In the viral video the lady expressed her bitterness, stating that managers in nightclubs force waitresses to sleep with them in exchange for job security and later fire them when their demands are turned down.
In addition, she pointed out that managers give empty promises of high positions to lure them. Later, the women end up being fired and their desires not met.
