Following public outcry, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, led by George Kinoti has acted swiftly and arrested four Chinese nationals, among them Deng Hailan-the man who was recorded on video flogging a Kenyan staff at Chez Wou restaurant.

In a statement posted on Twitter, the DCI confirmed the arrest of the four nationals who are lawful police custody and will be arraigned in court.

"Following reports of an incident doing rounds in sections of the press depicting a man of Asian descent assaulting a male employee said to be working at a hotel, this morning detectives from Kilimani raided Chez Wou Restaurant in Kileleshwa in pursuit of the matter," read the statement.

Among those arrested was Deng Hailan who mercilessly whipped 22 year old Simon Oseko for reportedly arriving late at work.
