Woman Tells Boss To “F-Off”, for Harassing Her

Daudi Were, one of Kenya’s first bloggers and the executive director of Nairobi-based nonprofit software company Ushahidi, has been accused of sexually harassing an employee during a company retreat on Jan. 19.

Angela Kabari, 31, said she recorded the events of that night, but Were, who said he has listened to the recording, said he believes the clip has been edited.

Were acknowledged that he made the “inappropriate comments,” but said, “I would not call them sexual in the same way that saying ‘fuck off’ is not sexual."

The incident took place on Jan. 19. Kabari reported it three and a half months later, on May 4.

Then, on July 18, the company allowed Were to make a case for why he shouldn’t be fired & put him on compulsory leave and no further disciplinary action has been taken.

The board also rejected a second sexual harassment allegation she brought against Were.

However, the company added that Kabari had also violated her contract and the organization’s rules — which call for “mindful and respectful” communication between employees — by using phrases like “fuck off” liberally in the workplace.
