It is a sad moment for three Kenyan men who were working in Burundi as caretakers. The three were arrested after they were accused of harassing tenants over unpaid rent.
According to reports, the men had been asking tenants to clear their rent arrears, but the issue later turned into a serious legal matter.
Reports indicate that some tenants felt pressured by the caretakers and decided to report the matter to the local police station.
Police officers responded and arrested the three Kenyans. They were later taken to court in Burundi to face charges related to harassment.
According to the information shared, Burundi has strict laws that guide how foreigners should behave while living and working in the country.
It is said that foreigners are not allowed to harass or pressure Burundian citizens in any manner. Actions that may appear as threats, force, or too much pressure can be treated as harassment under the country’s laws.
After the court process, the three caretakers were reportedly found guilty and sentenced to five years in prison.
The news has shocked many people, especially Kenyans working in foreign countries. Many have expressed concern and said this case should remind people to understand and respect the laws of the country they are living in.
This incident highlights the importance of handling rent disputes carefully and following legal procedures, especially when working abroad.
