A Nairobi court has received a case where a former executive at Ecart Services Kenya Limited, the parent company of online retailer Jumia, claims to have been pushed out of his job partly because he doesn’t speak French.
Mr James Njine Kamau, whose last posting was Chief Operations Officer (COO) and who left Jumia late last year, says in a case filed on Tuesday that Jumia’s CEO once spoke to him about his preference for leaders who can speak French.
