Forget boardroom meetings — it’s heartbreak and hot drama at Safaricom HQ, where whispers of office romance gone wrong have exploded into a full-blown scandal!
A former employee has come out guns blazing, accusing the company’s Employee Relations Manager, Odhiambo Ooko, of kicking him out over a suspected affair with Ooko’s alleged office girlfriend, a mysterious lady only known as Susan.
The jilted worker says his firing was nothing short of a revenge mission, cooked up by a jealous boss protecting his turf.
He was reportedly branded “lazy” and sent packing — yet he insists he was hitting all his targets like a champ. “I was performing at 120%, but they still came for me,” he wrote in a viral post that’s now the talk of corporate Kenya.
Insiders claim Ooko went full telenovela mode after rumours started flying that Susan — who’s said to share more than just HR secrets with him — might have been getting a little too friendly with the young staffer.
Soon after, things went south fast — show-cause letters, disciplinary drama, and a firing that smelled more of heartbreak than HR policy.
Now, everyone’s asking: Who is Susan? Why is Ooko quiet? And did a Safaricom love triangle just destroy a man’s career?
Screenshots, posts, and “cake” metaphors are flooding social media — with Edwin, the fired employee, cheekily declaring, “I didn’t eat anyone’s cake!” Nairobi can’t stop talking.
Safaricom has stayed mum on the saga, but in the buzzing corridors of Westlands, the verdict is clear — this wasn’t about performance. It was about passion, pride, and a woman named Susan.
One thing’s for sure: this isn’t the kind of connection Safaricom advertises.
