She also revealed that whenever she gave her househelp money, the employee would save it instead.
She showed a collection of coins, mostly KSh 20, along with a few notes, ranting as she confronted her.
The woman then tore into a stack of bar soap and packets of milk that the househelp had allegedly stored in her room.

Kenyans react after woman confronts househelp
Social media users flocked to the comment section as they shared mixed reactions following the video.
tarus_caren:
"Those saying she wouldn’t steal if she were paid well, let me tell you, we once had a house girl who was paid well. My mum even took her to tailoring courses without touching her salary. Every time she went home, my mum bought her clothes and things for her family. But still, that lady did us dirty. So character is character, an ungrateful person will never be satisfied."
