Even private sector I have seen a co. take staff for an expensive training, and then bonding that staff for a couple of yrs (3 in this case) to ensure that the co. benefits most from the expertise it acquired from its investment in the staff.
In military you are required to serve for a minimum of 9 years (i stand to be coLLected on the yrs) before you can leave.
We can debate the length of the bonding but the concept is already entrenched.
What bonding? We pay HELB loans and many students who are self sponsored end up working for government. In Military you are guaranteed 9 years of work, after that, they can chase you at their own will but with benefits of course. Are you a doctor? Try finding out how much goes into training a doctor, then compare what they pay at the unis and MTC. Those who dont want to be bonded, they can opt out but pay the full cost. This should have been done in 1963 Not all things are done for ROI. For instance, most of North Eastern province is a barren wasteland, but still we should like the Government to take piped water, paved roads, electricity and rail to those people even if little produce (and taxes) comes out of there to add to the GNP. That "barren wasteland" has so much potential that you who thinks in-terms of farming and rainfall cannot see. That aside...Imagine if you are running a commercial enterprise - HOTEL - then you take afew guys from your village to utalii for training - once the course is done wouldn't you want them to practice what they have learnt at your hotel? Or you'd be happy if someone else offered them 1000 more? Hio si ni charity. Truth is some of these countries out there dont invest in training and education of personnel they just wait for you to train, then they poach even that mushahara given is not so much.
