On November 22nd, a shocking incident occurred at the Eastmatt supermarket in Kitengela, where a male supervisor brutally assaulted a female cashier. The disturbing video of the incident has sparked widespread outrage and raised questions about the company's human resources policy.

According to eyewitnesses, the management initially remained silent about the incident, only to release a statement a day later, describing the supervisor as an 'individual' who acted in his own capacity and had been suspended. However, critics argue that this response is inadequate, given the severity of the assault.

The video shows the supervisor slapping the cashier multiple times, pulling her by the hair, and raining blows on her even as she tries to escape. The incident has left the cashier with severe injuries, and her condition remains unknown.

Eastmatt's statement condemning the incident and suspending the supervisor has been met with skepticism, with many questioning the company's commitment to protecting its employees. The incident has sparked a heated debate about the need for stronger measures to prevent such incidents in the future.

As the incident continues to make headlines, many are calling for the supervisor to be arrested and charged for his actions. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the need for companies to prioritize the safety and well-being of their employees.
