What is an average Kenyan radio journo to do? These people play music and mouth inanities all day and deep down want to change the public perception that they're airheads.So,they try to appear cerebral and simply confirm what we have known all along.
That they're average in all ways-mentally and morally.

Exactly, that's why she is a schupid average gal in make-up

@ Mawinder.
Please don't get me wrong.I said she did wrong.
It's Criminal what she did no matter how hard she tries to sugar coat it.
But look at the venom being spit out.
It's not about the article anymore but bitterness and anger.
The name Caro Mutoko seems to stir up bad emotions in men.I could be wrong but again it's just opinion based on online remarks in teh past and now.
Why would anybody call her a childless middle aged woman yet she has a baby girl called Nduku?
Where does her personal life and the article meet?
Aren't we the same people bashing the safcom board for bringing Bob's personal life into the Boardroom?
I am the type who looks for positive things in people.
I once hated caro but I discovered I was hating on her because people were talking ill of her.
I thought she was a ball of steel.Unbreakable.

But as a female I know that there's is a soft lil girl in every tough woman including MK even the late Maathai.
I think we react to the tough personality and judge it harshly, but I guess she does that on purpose.Again I could be wrong.

That aside,I agree with what Famooz said.

TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN MUCH IS REQUIRED.
That's my daily song.

But again,do professionals in Kenya act professional? Esp Media??
Run a quick scan and search for intergrity and etiquitte and rate.The stats may cause server to stop working so lets not even go there.

Caro must be aware that she represents a whole media house so she needs to stop talking since the management already sorted this mess.
A company's intergrity is dragged through mud with every word spoken.
I recommend a spokeman.
Alfie the dodo?

It is people like Carol who have created a very big industry of copyrighting and non-disclosure agreements.

Those of you who work in offices know of this fellow or gal in your office who takes your idea and takes it to the boss pretending that its theirs.

That is what Carol has done. She stole someone's idea, copied it word for word and pretended it is hers. Worse,she says she does that every time.

It raises a few questions:

How many of her colleagues ideas has she "copied"?
Does she have an original idea in her bones?

But that is none of my business. Like she said only maids, drunks and watchmen listen to her show as she steals the ideas from them.

I'm more concerned about young coders like Masukuma who believe that is how life works. No wonder all the applications from iHub have something to do with M-pesa...Even their names, M-soko, M-gari etc.

When you have a country of copycats, you have a country of dunderheads. Obviously they have a champion in this lady.

Copying is stealing. PERIOD.

She should have apologised and let it rest.

I love arrogant people and to some extent think they are very sexy.

But in this case, hii chinda yote is because she called her listeners watchies and maids and they aren't taking that lying down. hehe

this business of intellectual property is a self defeating idea that we have been indoctrinated with - We should not care about such things, tuko down and its our way getting back at the owners, I actually don't recognize 'IP', I always encourage people to use proprietary software but never to buy such. Currently on my PC i have software products that would have cost over $50k - AND I AM PROUD OF IT. its my way of getting back to those thieves that have been robbing our continent for centuries - first it was labour then it came to raw materials. Hakuna siku mwafrika atakuwa mzungu - uliza mchina... aligundua hivyo.

But seriously you should not be proud of it. There will never be a good reason to do that. Why should you do that when there are free alternatives available. For example in my case, I have all the software I need but I cannot quantify the cost because it is Linux and free. I cannot possibly begin to pay for the opposite numbers yet I are at par with those that can.

That is the difference when you use others work. If the owner has let his work out to run free in the wild as it were, then it is free. It is NOT plagiarism or stealing if you use it as if it were your own.

That goes for knowledge. For instance Isaac Newton did not own and claim the knowledge of gravity as his own even though the publication on which you read it will claim copyrights over that publication.

But if the owner has not let it out so and wants due recognition for his work where it goes and you do not comply when you appropriate it for yourself, that is just plain wrong. Just look how the phone makers are suing themselves.

We need to lead by example. And from the front.

@masukuma being original is a gift from God. And from someone who professes his faith on this forum so vehemently, its a shame to see you're admitting to being a common thief.

I also counselled you before on the use of words like "us" and "me". If you have issues being an African say so, but don't use that as an excuse to steal.

Once there was a gang called the mungiki who refused to accept the validity of simple laws of don't covet your neighbours property. I'm sure you were one of the fellows who were screaming they should be hanged.

As they say, don't throw stones, especially if you are a common thief yourself.

Carol Mutoko is a serial plagiarist. look at this article she wrote on August 13 2012 titled "Dear Ladies, Greatness Has Been Found" http://www.the-star.co.k...reatness-has-been-found where she writes,

Covered in clothing from head to toe, except for her smiling face poking out from her hood, Attar's debut came five days after a Saudi judo athlete became the ultraconservative country's first female competitor at any Olympics. Her mother is American and her father is Saudi. She has dual citizenship. Attar wanted to represent Saudi Arabia at the Olympics as a way of inspiring women – she could have run as an American.

These are the exact words found in an article by AP (associated Press) in this US Today magazine
http://www.usatoday.com/...-saudi-women/56869212/1

Again look at Mutoko's article "The Women of My Generatin Kinda Blew It" dated 25th June 2012 http://www.the-star.co.k...eneration-kinda-blew-it and you get this,

Only you can decide what defines success for you, and you’ll have to decide it over and over and over again. But know this, it is the ultimate luxury to combine passion and contribution. It’s also a very clear path to happiness.

words that appear in a speech by Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook's COO given during Barnard College's commencement,may 17 2011 where she said,

In the same article of June 25th Mutoko writes

I’m not suggesting you be boastful. No one likes that in men or women. However, I am stating categorically that believing in yourself is the first necessary step to coming even close to achieving your potential.
