The things some people say sometimes amazes! How does not being able to express yourself in English or Swahili mean inability to do their job!


One wonders.

It might not affect their ability to do the job if one is just communicating with people speaking the same language. But what about reading and interpreting government documents, interacting confidently with people who don't speak that particular language?

Bar set too high?

Sad that what we have successfully devolved is co[size=6][b]rruption, tribalism and nepotism
Governors risk legal action over county jobs

The move comes following reports that some counties were excluding some ethnic groups and clans in their hiring for new jobs, running the risk of posing a serious danger to national healing and cohesion.

Among the counties NCIC has cited as having flouted the law that requires inclusion were Isiolo, Kiambu, Machakos, Turkana, Kisii and Kwale. The law also requires that at least 30 per cent of the civil service should include people who originate from outside each county to promote national cohesion.

โ€œThere is a worry that the counties are becoming ethnic enclaves. In some counties there is a deliberate move to exclude other ethnic groups while others are going as far as appointing only from their clans. This is why we are raising the alarm,โ€ said commission chairman Mzalendo Kibunjia.

Kibunjia and NCIC might be toothless bulldogz but here they have their finger on a problem
