Kakuzi's statement on the claims of human rights abuses in Kenya

"Kakuzi - Press Statement"

...Leigh Day, a law firm in the United Kingdom, wrote to Kakuzi in August 2019 stating that they intended to take Kakuzi to Court in the UK over accusations of serious criminal acts committed against anonymous claimants.  The acts were allegedly committed by employees of the Company most of whom to date remain unnamed. In July 2020 Leigh Day dropped the Court claims against Kakuzi.  It has now become clear that the strategy is instead to run a smear campaign against Kakuzi and some of its customers.

This we assert because, as far as we know, few of these accusations have ever been reported to Kakuzi or the Kenyan authorities.   The claims having been made anonymously has hindered any investigation to get justice for those who seek it...As a responsible corporate citizen Kakuzi does not condone any criminal activities or behavior by any of its employees and to this end we have requested the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions to investigate the allegations of criminality and take action in accordance with the law.
