The disturbing clip, which spread across social media, captured the employer kicking the Kenyan worker repeatedly.
In a story that has stirred deep emotions across the country, the angry boss lifted a piece of iron sheet and struck him with it as colleagues watched helplessly.
The attack, filmed in a moment of unrestrained rage, left many viewers horrified, not just by the violence, but by the worker’s heartbreaking inability to defend himself.
Social media erupted with anger and pain, with thousands lamenting the reality that a man, a father, could endure such humiliation simply because his job is the only thing keeping his family afloat.
Man forgives Chinese boss
Hours later, however, the narrative took an unexpected turn. A second video surfaced showing the same two men, now calm, shaking hands in an apparent truce.
The employer, previously the aggressor, was seen looking apologetic over his behaviour. Unconfirmed reports indicate that he offered a salary increase as a gesture of remorse.
Speaking softly but firmly in the follow-up clip, the employee confirmed he had put the incident behind him.
“I have forgiven him and I am willing to continue working here. Going forward, we shall find more amicable ways to solve our differences and will not listen to what the public says,” he said.
Kenyans react to Eldoret man’s decision
While some online users expressed relief at the reconciliation, many more were left heartbroken, reading between the lines of his forgiveness.
To them, the man’s decision reflected the harsh reality faced by countless workers who endure indignity and even danger simply to ensure their children do not sleep hungry.
His story has reignited discussions about the power dynamics that silence victims, and the economic pressures that make walking away impossible.
In choosing peace, the Eldoret man did what he felt he had to do, for his family, for survival, and for the hope of better days.
Whether justice was served, however, remains a question many Kenyans are still struggling to reconcile with.

He acknowledged the pain and shame the divorce caused, not only to his son-in-law but also to his family and the community.
The heartbroken man expressed his deep desire to see his daughter build a happy and successful marriage, acknowledging that what was happening between them was unfortunate.
