3 Managers have been detained as a result of a drama in which female employees of a Limuru-based business were made to strip while working.

On Thursday, three senior managers of the company were detained in relation to the incident when it was allegedly required that the female employees disrobe while at work.

The managers demanded to know who had disposed of a sanitary towel in the incorrect bin, according to the police, and ordered the female employees to take off their clothes.

The plant's quality assurance manager, human resource manager, and HR assistant were all detained, according to the police.

They are being interrogated, according to police, and will appear in court on Friday to answer to numerous allegations.

The company's management was unavailable for comment. According to witnesses, several female workers were made to strip off Monday after a soiled sanitary towel was discovered in the incorrect disposal bin.

According to Tigoni police, their investigation revealed that a top manager had previously forced female employees to remove their clothes.

The incident was originally made public by Senator Gloria Orwoba, who claimed to have gotten a distress call about it on Monday night.

"I got a report about an incident that the Quality Assurance Manager had found a sanitary towel put in the wrong bin," Orwoba posted on her social media platforms.

"The manager allegedly got all the women from the team and told them to undress so that she could check who was on her periods so that they could punish them for putting the towel in that bin.”

She continued by saying that despite her involvement, things had gotten worse.

"It is unfortunate that the matter has escalated despite this morning's intervention through my office," she added."

"All institutions should purpose to implement the MHM Policy in Kenya for the good of all stakeholders," she added.

Police said they are handling the issue.
