A company that had hired Chinese
Liu Jiaqi who referred to President Uhuru Kenyatta and Kenyans as monkeys has apologised.
Sonlink said it was aware of the video in June and has apologised to its workers.
Liu Jiaqi was deported last week following a public outcry when the recording went viral on social media.
He was secretly captured on video by a worker he had threatened to sack from his motorcycle shop.
In the clip, the trader bragged that there is nothing that "poor, black, smelly" Kenyans can do to him even he sacks the employee.

held a

Kenyan workers.
