Benji Ndolo has sued his former employer Ebru TV shortly after quitting the Turkish-owned station over a pay cut after he tested positive for Covid-19.
Ndolo fired at Ebru TV in a series of tweets, narrating how the station’s General Manager Anab Mohamed allegedly mistreated him.
“I will no longer appear on @EbruTVKenya. I have made that decision, I vociferously defend my rights and those of others. Mrs Anab Mohamed is a Greedy, Disrespectful, Exploitative manager who has no Integrity. She insulted me and cut my pay after I got Covid. See you in COURT!” Ndolo tweeted.

“When I got Covid-19, she cut my pay. She is also abusive and discriminatory. How do you have an employee who comes back from recovery, then you cut his pay? Many Kenyans choose to keep quiet but for me, I will fight for my rights,” Ndolo added.

The political analyst further said he was he was involved in a heated confrontation at Ebru offices on Tuesday but denied assaulting anyone after a HR officer at the station threatened to file a suit against him over his outburst.
“As we exchanged words in the boardroom with voices raised, there was pin drop silence in the entire office…I realized everyone was listening very keenly and instantly knew I was speaking for many. Toxic stuff happening daily in the work space and especially in MEDIA houses,” he tweeted.

Adding that;
“I concede that I was very angry. What annoyed me is that they are used to people just keeping quiet. There was no assault, there was no police report. I respect the law. There were only raised voices.”
Ndolo further accused Ebru TV’s foreign bosses of racially discriminating against locals who work at the station.
“At @EbruTVKenya the White (Turkish) owners hardly greet the Blacks let alone mix with them, there is too much cow dung in this country it STINKS! Why do we allow it????”
