I tend to believe that the state of honesty of citizens could have a bearing on the state of the economy..so in this case Germans are probably very honest,on the other hand I find KE to have many dis-honest people...everyone wants to rip everybody off..from shopkeepers,butchers,barmaids, mechanics,friends and relatives "borrowing" money etc..


The relatives "borrowing" money can be quite annoying especially of you have a prior non-existent relationship. Most progressive people, have been forced to redefine the family boundaries from Extended to Immediate family...I really pity those people who come from communal tribal backgrounds, where capitalist mentality clashes with traditional values..
More monies, more problems...

I like that..This should be the country to jump start our ailing tourism sector?


What Centum did recently to its employees, sets a blue print for other Kenyans firms on link of bonus to staff performance and company profits.

Any successful organisation knows the employees are resources and not liabilities. With physological contract between employees and employees becoming non-existent, more of Kenyans are always on the look out for better opportunities... Employees are no-longer loyal to their companies, upward professionals are seeking either vertical or horizontal growth...

To continuously motivate, attract and retain high performing employees in this very fluid and dynamic age...is challenge to all employers..


I really hope the government does a better job with security, its killing the tourism industry...

Better yet lets promote Regional or Internal Tourism..

Instead of just drinking at a pub or relaxing at home, do a weekend trip not to shag but to other counties and tourist attraction. Is shame to be in Kenya and not to visit the Parks, Coastline and Museums that many spend a fortune from overseas to see..

Enjoy your of what is left of your weekend!!


I like your point but I think what Centum did is more like the Wall Street Bank bonuses than what you see in Germany. The German work ethic is not based on just making piles of money, it's a core part of the German character. Many other Europeans don't like Germany coz "Germans work too hard", or "are too focused on work" etc. People tend to confuse things when it comes to motivating employees. Beyond a certain point more money can actually end up defocusing employees e.g. they'll spend lots of time online browsing all the cool toys they could be buying with the extra cash. The evidence is that some of the most motivated people on the planet actually don't make much money e.g. my primary school teachers, some people driven by a cause, explorers and those trying to break records of some sort, scientists and mathematicians who spend countless nights trying to solve a long standing paradox or discover the cure of some disease etc.
