Employees at Capital Alliance Valuers and Assessors Ltd, a Nairobi-based valuation firm specialising in motor vehicles, property, agricultural assets and other valuations, have appealed for intervention over prolonged salary delays that have left workers struggling to support their families and meet their financial obligations.
In a complaint sent to NyakundiReport, the employees say they have continued reporting to work and fulfilling their responsibilities even as their salaries remain unpaid, leaving them without compensation for services they have already rendered.
Some workers have gone for as long as three months without receiving their salaries, with the employees describing the situation as unfair to staff who continue dedicating their time and effort to the company without receiving their hard-earned wages.
More troubling are claims that employees who approach management to follow up on delayed salaries or demand payment of their outstanding dues risk termination.
The threat has left workers afraid to speak up, knowing that asking to be paid could cost them their jobs while the company continues to owe them money.
The employees have directly implicated the company's Managing Director, Jane Njoroge, popularly identified as "Madam Jane", accusing her management of allowing salary arrears to accumulate for up to three months while staff continue working without pay.
They further accuse management of threatening to dismiss workers who demand their outstanding salaries, leaving employees caught between the need to earn a living and the risk of losing their jobs for seeking payment.
Her involvement in the valuation business dates back to June 2013, when she expanded Capital Alliance Insurance Agency into a valuation division.
The division was established to provide valuation and assessment services, with her husband taking charge of its management.
Capital Alliance Valuers and Assessors Ltd operates from Emmark Court, 1st Floor, Room 1, along Parklands Road in Westlands, Nairobi.
The affected employees are calling for an investigation into the company's treatment of staff and intervention by the relevant authorities to ensure that workers receive the salaries owed to them.
“Hello Cyprian Nyakundi. I am reaching out to bring to your attention a concerning employment issue at Capital Alliance Valuation Company, located at Emmark Court, 1st Floor, Room 1, Parklands Road, Westlands, Nairobi. Under the management of the Managing Director, Madam Jane, employees are allegedly going for up to three months without receiving their salaries despite continuing to work and fulfil their duties. What is even more concerning is that employees who follow up or demand payment of their outstanding salaries reportedly face termination. This has created a difficult situation for several affected employees who depend on their hard-earned salaries to support their families and meet their daily obligations. It is unfair for employees to work for months without pay and then risk losing their jobs simply for asking to be paid. I kindly request you to look into this matter, investigate the company's employment practices and help bring this issue to the attention of the public. Many employees may be suffering silently because they fear victimisation or losing their jobs. We appeal to you to give these employees a voice and help seek accountability. Thank you for being a voice for people whose concerns might otherwise go unheard.”
