Twist In Viral Video Of Rixxos Club Owner Claiming To Know Ruto

Members of Rixxos Lobby and Grill in Kitengela, Kajiado County have come out to defend their owner who was caught in a viral video threatening and harassing one of her female employees over her delayed salary.

Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko visited the entertainment joint on Thursday evening, December 8, hours after police officers had raided the premises amidst investigations launched by the National Police Service (NPS) over the matter.

While the staffers confirmed to Sonko that they had actually received their dues, one of them revealed that the woman who claimed to have been abused by the boss was actually being abusive on her end, prompting a response.

"They were already insulting each other when they came in. They entered the office to establish what happened before they came down and sat at the sunken lounges.

"Even the manager who was talking to them is also human. There is no way I can address you in a disrespectful way and expect that I will be polite. He is not a saint but there was no way that conversation would have been smooth and to be honest, we were all paid," she stated while her colleagues agreed with her that they were all paid.

Another employee could be heard posing why the employee was out to ruin the name of the establishment as Sonko wanted to establish the main cause of the issue.

Another lady who works at the entertainment joint uncovered a plot by other ladies who were part of the altercation, to steal Ksh700,000 from their boss. After all the female employees were summoned, the women were taken to the police station.

"They (disgruntled staff in the video) started claiming that they know prominent people, that they will bring down this place and they cannot accept being called thieves and for a fact, they did steal. Even that lady (who was in the viral video) was actually a casual worker," she said, further noting that the women claimed to have connections to Azimio la Umoja coalition leader Raila Odinga, which made the owner also claim that he was President William Ruto's friend.

She added that the woman edited the video which was shared on social media platforms and sparked an uproar. In defence, she stated that the club is only two months old, against the woman's claim that she was not paid by the establishment for six months.

The video seen by Viral Tea saw the employee of the entertainment joint, demanding the owner whom she refers to as Jaymo, to pay her the monthly salary she worked for. Meanwhile, Jaymo could be heard refusing to surrender to her demands that he pays her while hurling obscenities at her.
