Hello Nyakundi,
Please hide my identity. I am a staff member at Artcaffé, and we are really suffering under the current management conditions at the branch.
First, last week our PHs, off days, and leave days were deducted simply because of the matatu strike, something that was completely beyond our control as employees. It is unfair for management to punish staff for a nationwide transport crisis that affected everyone.
Secondly, the transport situation for staff working late shifts is becoming dangerous. Imagine the staff van arriving at the branch around 1:40 AM, then dropping employees along the highway at around 2 AM and leaving everyone to figure out how to get home safely on their own. This is not secure at all, especially for staff members going home at such hours.
The worst issue is the “FUNGA FUNGUA” shifts. Right now it is around 3 AM and I have just come from the PM shift, yet I am expected to wake up again at 4 AM to prepare and report back to work. We barely get any sleep. You enter the next shift already exhausted and sleepy, which is extremely risky especially in a busy restaurant environment where mistakes and accidents can easily happen because of fatigue.
We are mentally and physically drained. Some of us cannot even sleep properly because by the time you reach home, it is already time to prepare for the next shift again. This is not healthy and it is affecting staff wellbeing badly.
Another major issue is staff meals. There is no proper breakfast and sometimes no lunch at all, yet employees are expected to work long exhausting hours. Nobody seems concerned about staff welfare anymore.
Please let this reach HR because workers are really suffering. We are asking management to listen to staff concerns and improve these working conditions before things get worse.
Theres two things happening here,Ombachi and Bien wanatafuta unga. Which is very valid,family must eat. But the deeper underlying issue here,is this is not just about pictures. This isnt just a regular dinner. These two guys,Because of their deep cohesion in the society,representing both generations,they are being used as a signature to signify that indeed there is unity between France and Kenya and we as kenyans have embraced it. They knew this and still went. But we all know that deep down the french are not here for business.
They are not here to “invest”. They are here to Use and take. Its all they do. Thats why Traore kicked them out when he took power. Its not a matter of Ombachi and Bien are good people,its a matter of they have been used as a watermark in the documents that binds this country into tighter shackles of colonization and exploitation. As the wiseman once said,Hunger will once again make a man go back to beg for food where his siblings were poisoned.
A teacher from Kianguru Primary School has gone viral after the Milimani Small Claims Court ordered her to pay her boyfriend Ksh 23,750 for committing the highest crime in modern dating,, Eating fare eat Tau Tau. She pulled the kind of disappearing act that even CDF money would clap for her.
It all started when the man blinded by love, loneliness & July cold sent Mwalimu Ksh 3,000 for a taxi so she could attend his birthday party & later gift him the sacred fruits of fulumbanya that makes a man speak in tongues & see the gates of heaven opening slowly.
Mwalimu after receiving the money, she disappeared like Kasongo's promises. She went offline so violently that even the pokot bandits looked like jokers.
Omwami after waiting the whole night smelling muyusuff cologne & reheating pilau after every 30 minutes, realized he had been played by a professional ashawo! He marched to the Small Claims Court carrying evidence kwa kalataas like an ICC prosecutor:
M-Pesa statements, WhatsApp chats, Screenshots, Blue ticks & Voice notes where Madam was saying “ndio nimetoka babe” yet she was still in her house eating makhalange & watching kumkumbagya.
The court read through the chats & concluded that Madam had committed emotional terrorism. They ordered her to refund the Ksh 3,000, pay Ksh 750 interest for wasting the man’s battery & bundles, and an additional Ksh 20,000 for the emotional damage of expecting bedroom fireworks and receiving blackout.
To cap it all, Madam is currently detained at the government owned Airbnb, eating undercooked maize with two beans on the side to boost her immune system with limited proteins as her family scrambled to raise the money.
This should serve as a lesson to all the daughters of Agrippina who have normalized the habit of eating our money without giving us access to the kilgoris holy garden where walimwengu harvest ripped & over ripped sacred fruits of fulumbanya. Kama kawa sisi walala hoii hatuna maoni, Letu Jicho tu. 👀
