Hardly a week after initial whistleblower reports exposed financial improprieties and HR malpractice at private real estate development “Northlands City”, fresh claims have now surfaced implicating the security department in a network of tribal favouritism, questionable dismissals, and ethically fraught hiring practices that appear to undermine both merit and institutional integrity.
According to insiders, the department entrusted with safeguarding the sprawling urban project has become a microcosm of unchecked bias and operational decay, marked by systemic exclusion of certain ethnic groups, opaque employment procedures, and a culture of silent complicity.
The latest grievances, submitted by employees within the security wing, center on what has been described as a systematic purge of staff members, particularly those of Maasai origin, under vague or unexplained disciplinary grounds.
These positions, sources claim, are often promptly filled by individuals aligned with the ethnic background of the company’s HR lead, Philomena Mukono, the same official previously named in earlier reports of payroll fraud and employee intimidation.
Allegations suggest that Mukono, leveraging her position and internal influence, has fostered a working environment where nepotism and tribal alignment appear to outweigh competence and fair process.
The pattern of selective dismissal and replacement, insiders argue, has deepened divisions among staff and fuelled a pervasive sense of disenfranchisement.
Compounding these claims are accusations against the department’s current acting Security Manager, a retired police officer, whose hiring decisions are reportedly guided more by personal preference than professional criteria.
Multiple sources point to a recurring preference for hiring female guards regardless of experience or qualification, a practice perceived as driven by ulterior motives rather than security demands.
This reported collusion between the HR office and security leadership has allegedly cultivated a hostile and deeply politicized workplace, where grievances are quietly buried and any attempts at redress are met with subtle threats or administrative retaliation.
“Hi Nyakundi. We wish to bring to light the growing rot within the Northlands security department, orchestrated under the watch of the current HR officer Philomena Mukono, who has continuously engaged in blatant tribal favoritism and unprofessional conduct. Numerous employees, particularly those of Maasai origin, have been unfairly dismissed on unclear and unjust grounds, only to be replaced by individuals from her own Kikuyu ethnic group. This practice not only undermines the principles of diversity and equal opportunity but also promotes ethnic exclusion within a workplace that should be based on merit and professionalism. Worse still, this HR officer is reportedly colluding with an old retired police officer currently acting as Security Manager, whose biased hiring preference favors female guards over men, regardless of experience or capability. His conduct is suspicious, unstructured, and appears to be driven by personal interests rather than operational needs. The silence around this corruption must end. We demand urgent investigations and a complete audit of hiring and termination records within the security department. If unchecked, these unethical practices will continue to destroy lives and poison the work culture at Northlands. Justice, accountability, and fairness must prevail. Concerned Whistleblower.”
We will continue to investigate these disturbing revelations and publish additional findings as more employees come forward to expose the rot within Northlands City.
In case you have further information, documentation, or personal testimony related to these or other internal abuses at Northlands City, we urge you to reach out confidentially and help bring the truth to light.
