I spoke to my Kenyan colleague @MusaliaMudavadi. We agree that restrictions of air travel between our countries and from any of our country to a third country shouldn’t stand. With relevant authorities, we’ve resolved to settle this issue, per existing agreements, within 3 days.

TAARIFA KWA VYOMBO VYA HABARI

KENYAN WORKERS ARE DISHONEST

I got the opportunity to meet 6 rich men this weekend and I asked them a question that:

'Why are they not building factories for the youth of this country to get job to do?

They burst into laughter as if I have said something funny, then one said

The people shouting no food and jobs are all thieves!!

I was like really!!

He continued……”I run a manufacturing business and a trading business.

The biggest challenge in my manufacturing business is not Kenya power, or infrastructure, the biggest challenge is getting HONEST WORKERS.

Everyone we hire appears to be on a mission to steal as much as possible, Inflated invoices, recording less than the actual number of units produced, finding everything within their power to beat the system.

The worst part of it all is that all the fraud we've uncovered is NOT done by a single person, it's usually many staff who collude with each other, from production, to sales, to finance, even top management.

There was a year I overhauled management 3 times in a year.

But I've found a solution. I now use Indian expatriate management. They are more competent, so honest and so straightforward.

I thought they were expensive at first with all the visa fees, accommodation, house staff, but now that losses due to staff theft have been reduced to a minimum, and efficiency increased, the Indian management has turned out to be cheaper than the previous African management.

Now, all sensitive positions involving money go to Indians. Africans are only allowed in non-sensitive positions.

I used to criticize indigenous Kenyan companies like the MRM or Tononoka Group that hire so many Indians when there are many unemployed Africans, but now, I understand their painful decision.

My biggest challenge in the trading business is the same, getting honest staff. The form of trading occurs in the open market, and involves staff having access to huge sums of money running into a few millions.

I know how much I pay to security companies to provide escorts for the staff, not to prevent robbery, but to ensure that the staff go straight to the bank to deposit the money after the day's sales and not disappear with my money.

This money spent on security companies is even enough to be declared as profit. We have to spend on CCTV, biometric scanners and other things that wouldn't be needed if staff weren't looking for the slightest opportunity to steal.

It got so bad at a point that my main criteria for employing staff was no longer competency or certificates, but honesty.

At least, competency and skills can be learnt, but once you're dishonest, you're dishonest.

We always complain of the economy and how there are no jobs. I know people abroad who would have loved to set up job creating businesses in Kenya or across different african countries but they can't because they can't get any trustworthy person to run it

@addisale This is excellent news! I hope it is now possible for a Tanzanian to get visa on arrival in Ethiopia too. The last time I had to send my passport to Nairobi to get an Ethiopian visa before arrival.

[Hopewell Chin’ono @daddyhope]

This is a beautiful story from Kenya of how a couple set up a school that instills pride in being African and Black in kids who live in a world which is invariably Eurocentric due to television, sport and even music which is pushed on society in Africa.

It starts with having pride in your mother language.
Many Africans speak to each other in colonial languages even when they are at home.

Some Africans sadly see this as a sign of status, competing to be the best speaker of colonial languages when they can’t even speak their mother languages properly, there is no pride in this ignorance!

Prosperous countries like China and India speak to each other in their mother languages, African needs Decoloniality.

The film speaks about the doctrine of citizenship and how it is built through education.

Africans laugh at other Africans who can’t speak colonial languages with fluency, yet they accept whites who can’t speak English.

Colonial mentality!
