Sarah Kabu Accused of Withholding Salaries Amid Legal Battle

Sarah Kabu, co-founder and Managing Director of Bonfire Adventures, is facing serious allegations from her employees who claim she has withheld their salaries for several months. This situation reportedly stems from her ongoing legal dispute with her estranged husband, Simon Kabu, over corporate ownership and control of their travel agency's assets, valued at approximately KES 1.5 billion.

Employees have shared receipts and group chats where Sarah allegedly insulted and belittled them as they pleaded for their unpaid salaries, which they need for basic expenses like rent and medical bills. This has raised concerns about the treatment of employees during a turbulent time for the company.

Sarah Kabu is well-known in the Kenyan travel industry for her role in establishing Bonfire Adventures, a leading travel agency that has gained popularity for its holiday packages and travel services. Her public profile has been significantly impacted by her ongoing legal battles with Simon Kabu, who is also a co-founder of the business.

The legal dispute between the Kabus has escalated, with the High Court recently rejecting Sarah's request to prevent Simon from using 48 mobile phone lines associated with Bonfire Adventures during the divorce proceedings. Simon has also filed a petition to dismiss a KES 21 million lawsuit against him and Sarah from a former employee, who alleges violation of privacy and reputational damage, highlighting the contentious atmosphere surrounding their separation and business operations. According to Tuko, the court's decisions reflect the complexities of their divorce and the intertwining of their personal and professional lives.
