Zaribee Kenya, a motorcycle financing company based in Nairobi, is now facing serious allegations from its workers, exposing what appears to be a deeply broken system behind its polished brand image.
Employees have started to speak out about what they describe as a toxic, abusive workplace where local staff are routinely mistreated, intimidated, and denied their rights in an environment ruled by fear and discrimination.
The company is said to be fully owned and managed by foreign nationals, specifically Japanese expatriates, who occupy every senior position in the firm.
Those affected say that this leadership structure has created a culture of exclusion and racism, where Kenyan employees are looked down upon and unfairly punished.
Testimonies point to a pattern of racial bias and emotional abuse, with decisions often made without any transparency or fairness. Those in power are reportedly using their positions not to manage but to control, intimidate, and silence.
According to insiders, Zaribee Kenya has no human resources department at all. Instead, matters such as hiring, firing, salary disputes, and disciplinary actions are all handled directly by the company director, Renji Morita.
He is also said to manage finance and operations, creating a dangerous concentration of power in one person with no independent checks. Without an HR department, employees have nowhere to turn when mistreated.
There are no grievance mechanisms, no proper channels to report harassment or unfair treatment, and no safeguards to ensure fairness or protect against abuse.
One employee shared a shocking story of a colleague who was forced to clean toilets and walls simply because he was labelled a “non-performer.”
This kind of punishment has no place in any professional environment. Workers also say they are being assessed using strange methods, such as surprise math tests and personal checklists, rather than real job performance targets.
Missing a mark on these irrelevant tests could mean no pay rise or even public shaming. Others claim to have been verbally abused and insulted by managers using racially insensitive language, including by the director himself.
The overall working environment at Zaribee Kenya is described as one filled with fear, where speaking up against injustice means risking your job. Many workers are said to be demoralized and living in constant anxiety, yet remain silent to avoid being fired without warning.
There is no job security, no professional dignity, and no respect for the rights of local employees. Staff are made to feel small and voiceless in a company that operates in their own country.
Despite its outward appearance as a modern, growing business in the motorcycle financing space, what happens inside Zaribee Kenya tells a different story.
The allegations paint a disturbing picture of exploitation, racial bias, and mismanagement that cannot be ignored. Employees are now asking for help, not just to expose what is happening, but to bring pressure for change.
Their voices must be heard.If you are a current or former worker at Zaribee Kenya and have faced similar treatment, you are encouraged to come forward and share your experience.
Speaking out may feel risky, but collective action could force accountability. Every person deserves to work in a place that treats them with fairness and respect.
What is happening at Zaribee Kenya, if left unchecked, will only continue to harm more lives.
