The grave that's toxic work environment’ | Anthony Riri The grave that's toxic work environment’ The most toxic work environment is created by bosses or owners who think you are nothing but a common field worker just waiting for a salary.

I cry for you Charity. On 2nd of May as I was checking on my WhatsApp alerts I viewed your status which you had written " happy birthday to me" with your beautiful photo on it. I wished you happy birthday and you responded. Only to die one day later through the hands of a man who didn't deserve you. Your blood is on this useless man's hands and his fight with God just began.

This is Charity Mukami Machira.

She lived in Kirigiti and worked in an insurance company in their procurement department.
Her family described her as a generous , smart , soft spoken and always had a kind word to tell everyone. She just turned 30 on 02nd May.

Her best friend called her on Monday morning and she didn't pick her calls. A bit alarmed she called a friend who usually uses the bus with Charity to go to work together, she said she hadn't seen her that morning.

She kept calling Charity and as it wasn't her behavior not to pick calls , she shared with another mutual friend about her discomfiture. They reached out to her mother who said for the first time Charity hadn't called her that morning as she always did. Her mother reached out to her workplace and was informed that she hadn't reported. Her colleagues said she hadn't responded to calls or emails either. Her husband Boni wasn't answering her calls either.

They contacted a neighbour who they were in Chama together, she told them she had heard a loud scream on Sunday night but she wasn't sure where it could possibly have come from. Armed with this information they went to her landlady and together with the police they broke down the door to her house.

There they found Charity. Lifeless. Bloody. Murdered.

Her postmortem reads she had been hit six times on the head. Three wounds on her forehead. Behind her ear and behind her head.

Her husband Boniface Mwaniki Mugo had left a note addressed to Charity's brother: He stated that everything in that house belonged to him. The goods should be given to his younger brother. The man's last call was traced to Meru.

The family is asking for Justice. Her friends are asking for justice. We demand justice.
