Cellulant has variously been accused of only employing a single ethnic group in senior positions in the company.
After the DusIT attack in 2019, Kenyans on Twitter questioned why only one ethnic group from Cellulant were the victims. It emerged that Ken Njoroge prefers to employ only his ethnicity at Cellulant.
The move has created suspicion within the tech community with many asking how this is being encouraged.
