The whole story
Richard Ochieng, who recorded the Chinese man hurl racist slur, has come out to narrate his experience working for the racist man during an interview with New York Times.
The 26 year old reveals that Liu Jiaqi racially abused him on a regular basis. He recalls an incident when he was on a business trip with Liu and they spotted troop of baboons by the roadside. Liu told Ochieng to say hi to his brothers (baboons) and instructed him to share some bananas with the primates.
Ochieng also reveals that when he took the job as a salesman at the Chinese motorbike company he was paid a fraction of what he was initially offered.
He also says that his salary was subject to deduction for a long list of infractions, including zero laughter policy at work.
“Each minute of lateness — sometimes unavoidable given Nairobi’s notorious traffic — came with a steep fine. An employee who was 15 minutes late might be docked five or six hours’ pay,” said Ochieng
