NAIROBI, Kenya, July 6 – Limuru-based dairy company Brown’s Food has suspended its employees who allegedly forced female workers to undress to ascertain who was in period.
The company said that it is engaging a third-party HR company to conduct an Independent investigation of the matter, allowing all employees to discuss the matter with an external party.
“As senior leaders of Brown’s, we were deeply shocked and saddened to learn that an incident involving women’s health occurred at our facility recently,” Brown’s said on its Instagram page.
“As soon as the matter was brought to our attention, the individuals involved were suspended pending the Company’s investigation.”
Three suspects were today being held at the Tigoni Police Station before being arraigned in court.
“Brown’s is a women-led business and works hard to provide a working environment that is safe for all employees. Brown’s has formal HR policies and systems in place and this incident does not reflect the procedures of the Company as a whole. We realize we must do better and understand how this happened.”
