threatening to stab her deaf employer within Nairobi.
Esther Goretti affirmed to pointing a knife at her employer over a
three month arrears at their residence in Pangani, starehe district.
Goretti told the court she was frustrated when her deaf employer
,Grace Kibunja was unable to pay her before she traveled out of town for over a month.
She pleaded guilty to charges of creating disturbance yesterday and was conditionally discharged under section 35 (1) of the penal code.
Prosecution had records of disturbing text messages back to front. The texts exposed how they fought over payment.
When her employer returned from a long trip on 1st February she instantly jumped on her neck pointing a knife at her . Kibunja ran out of the house mimicking for help while carrying her child.
This exposed they question of language barrier. Her deaf employer would communicate in sign language through a translator.
She risked facing at least two years imprisonment for the offence
