The truth about employees ‘sacked’ after attending to Raila when he shopped at Uchumi Supermarket and found no unga

Nasa flag bearer Raila Odinga last Sunday made an impromptu visit to Uchumi supermarket in Westlands to assess the unga crisis.

Raila didn’t find unga, the shelves were empty with a notice that read: “please pick only two packets of maize flour”.

Uchumi employee who attended to Raila Odinga during his impromptu shopping was allegedly fired after the Cord leader left.

Rumors spread on social media purporting that Beth Musau (assistant cashier) and Winnie Musimba were shown the door for attending to Raila when he shopped at the supermarket.

Uchumi management has denied sacking the two employees. In a statement released to the media, the management confirmed Beth and Winnie were still part of their staff and even congratulated them for work well done.
