Moyo Casino in Westlands is now facing public pressure following disturbing allegations of employee mistreatment, particularly targeting security officers posted at the premises.
The accusations were revealed after a concerned insider reached out to well-known blogger and activist Cyprian Is Nyakundi, highlighting the harsh conditions and exploitative rules enforced by the casino’s management.
According to the message sent to Nyakundi, the casino is owned by a Russian national who is allegedly known for his rude and authoritarian behavior.
The source accused the owner of mistreating even Administration Police officers manning the premises during night shifts, forcing them to follow rules that do not align with the official National Police Service (NPS) standards.
In the whistleblower’s exact words to Nyakundi: “Hi Nyakundi. Kuna hii casino inaitwa Moyo Westlands owned by some rude Russian. The business that goes on inside is beyond one’s imagination.
The Russian is rude to an extent that he mistreats even the AP officers manning the premises during the night. The officers are not allowed to wear raincoats or greatcoats. He wants only the jungle jacket.
They work under his rules which do not conform with NPS, and the officers are suffering in silence for fear of victimization and transfers by their boss Rotich and Gona.
A clear case was when an officer raised an issue concerning Nacoste Plaza, where officers sign for 1500 but are given 1000. The officer APC Emayot was transferred for questioning the legality. Kindly highlight this Mr Nyakundi.
“This direct testimony paints a troubling picture of what officers are enduring at Moyo Casino. Being barred from wearing appropriate gear like raincoats and greatcoats during bad weather is not just uncomfortable but also a potential health risk.
Such practices suggest a disregard for the officers’ basic welfare and professional rights.
Moreover, the mention of Rotich and Gona, who are said to be senior officers responsible for the deployment of security personnel, adds another layer of concern.
The fear of transfers or disciplinary action reportedly keeps many officers silent. The case of APC Emayot, who was allegedly punished for questioning payment irregularities at Nacoste Plaza, reflects a system where speaking out can cost one their post.
These allegations raise serious questions about how private businesses like Moyo Casino are allowed to operate with little regard for lawful labor practices.
The Russian owner’s alleged conduct suggests a deeper issue of impunity, especially when law enforcement personnel themselves are being mistreated and silenced.
With these claims now in the open, many are calling on the authorities to investigate and take swift action to protect the rights of those serving under such oppressive conditions.
Nyakundi’s platform has once again played a key role in exposing what may be a wider problem within Nairobi’s high-end entertainment industry.
