It is not all quiet at Ushahidi as key executives at the crisis mapping service are being accused of systematically trying to hide sexual assault of women at the company while ensuring that the victims are gagged.
However, the sexual harassment accusations against Daudi Were have not started today. They started from as way back as 2006 but anyone who tried to push them further and force the Mashada, iHub and Ushahidi to investigate the same have always been individually targeted and if they are employees of the organizations, they have always been fired. 3 women including the latest one are said to be vocal victims. One woman is reported to have even recorded a nasty exchange.
The latest incident happened 2 months ago in Italy. It is said that Daudi Were, the lady and other Ushahidi executives were in Italy for team building. At night and being close to each other at night, Daudi Were started making sexual advances on one of the ladies there called Angela. The lady was not entertaining it. So he found a way and started playing nice. When they were through with the evening activities, Daudi and the woman were walking back to the room when Daudi tried to grab the woman and forcefully push her into his room for the night. The woman shouted “Daudi FUCK YOU!!!.”
It is reported that when Daudi came back and the lady reported the issue to Ushahidi team verbally in Italy and in writing in Kenya, Ushahidi fired the lady.
