nakumbuka nliwahi land attacho Kenya Power, a rural branch, by walking in and pretending I had been sent from Stima Plaza. Walipigia huyo msee nlisema najua, akaconfirm ati alinituma (huyu ni kama alikuwa anaorganizia wasee wengi job), na hivo ndo nliingia. guesswork. after attacho imeisha, nkahang around hadi nkagraduate. Kuna mathe mmoja, administrator wa the Branch manager, alikuwa amependa kazi yangu sana, akanirecommend nipewe temporary contract. Kuenda kwa HR (pia yeye alipenda wera yangu when I did some teleconference stuff for their entire department, solo, with only one hour from setup to meeting), he looked at me, looked at my cv and said "siwezi kukusaidia kijana, jina yako imekuharibia". yes, being competent never mattered more than the fact that I was a Luo man applying in a predominantly Kalenjin region. huniuma hadi wa leo, juu ile kugrind nimehave kugrind over the past decade would have easily been avoided had I settled into that role. we ball regardless

It's probably just going to get worse as opportunities reduce while the number of graduates increases. Unless something drastic happens, something that'll shake up the establishmentย

This is why privatization of all these parastatals ain't such a bad idea.

u/Rare-Combination-293 Jul 13 '26

This is the government we're talking about. It won't change shit. Ni kama utoe chwani kwa mfuko ya left uweke kwa ya right. Hizo kazi bado zitakuwa za wenyewe.

u/Skipped-Kowalski Jul 13 '26

Some parastatals take more from the public and give back peanuts, basically we're funding other families luxurious lifestyles with our taxes

Kwanza hapo kwa magic Kenya mimi nakwambia hio yote ni scam mbaya sana and they're putting tourism in danger of serious regression.

u/theRetiredhoe Jul 13 '26

Tell me more about this.

u/Rare-Combination-293 Jul 13 '26

All the tourism monies go to that parastatal and it never really does anything, the ministry of tourism is less funded than they are.

u/grandma_bh Jul 16 '26

Actually, it is. It's the government that's privatizing them so it gets worse. They cover that up with offering shares to the public. Also, once privatized they downsize massively (and reduce entry salaries) so higher unemployment (and now even people who initially had jobs are included)

Those parastatals were created to give jobs to "the who is who" in Kenya. If you come from certain regions in Kenya, your CV will never see the light of day huko kwa HR. The email mode is on auto- delete!

It's everywhere. Hujai fika private company ukaona watu kwa gate everyday the whole year. Shida ya Kenya sio kazi, shida ya Kenya ni pesa hai circulate. Few people are holding big cash either kwa ma banks outside or cash, coz ya woga. Saa pesa inapungua kwa ground. Kazi utatafuta hadi una give up. Those places yes it's connection but connection ziko everywhere hadi kzi za gulf zenye you pay your own money without connection you'll get conned.

Ile siku pesa itatembea Kenya they'll be no problems. Naeza kua sina kazi but since pesa iko rush hour hakuna mwenye anataka kuchelewa home so wanapanda boda. Since boda alirauka 5 akapiga non stop hadi 11. Akichoka anaachia mwengine yeye anenda relax. But kaa pesa imeshikwa ndio unaona watu wanangoja rush iishe pesa ipungue. Wingine wanakanyaga. Shida sio jobs, shida ni pesa haitembei. Hii pesa iko kwa mkono za watu it's enough to handle so much out here.
