MC Kajim’s wife, Silvana Wambui has been forced to issue and explanation and an apology for a viral video that drew backlash for pranking their nanny.
In the video, Kajim and Wambui accused their nanny Miriam of mistreating their son and neglecting her duties. They confronted her on camera and fired her leaving her in tears. She would be heard crying while pleading with them not to fire her since she has children to take care of back at home.
The video sparked mixed reactions from Kenyans who shared their different views about the video. Many viewers criticized the couple for their insensitivity and disrespectful treatment of their nanny saying she should be treated with dignity despite being a house help.
Wambui has now taken to social media to apologize, while denying that she demeaned Miriam. She is claiming that the prank was intended for entertainment purposes and that she treats everyone in her household equally.
“In my house, there’s no vulnerable person. I treat everyone the same,” she wrote. “You are just worked up because of her profession. Stop discriminating people because of what they do for a living, the bottom line is we’re all human.”
Wambui also tagged Miriam in her post, who responded saying they are used to that in their house and there was nothing to worry about. “@wambui_kajim we are used to that in this house, I shouldhave seen it coming.”
The apology has been met with mixed reactions, with some fans supporting Wambui’s defense while others continue to condemn the prank. What is your view on this? Let’s meet in the comments section and talk about it.
