These Unprecedented Times Call for Business Unusual!

These are unprecedented times. Never in our recent history, have we not had an opposition party or group to check the excesses of the Executive. @KLM_VUMA

Even during the dark days of the single-party rule of the Moi dictatorship, voices of dissent still existed, despite the constant danger of imprisonment, torture and assassination.

#KongamanoLaMageuzi #PoliticalEducationKE #FagiaWote

This is the spirit that led us to fight to end the single-party rule. It is the spirit that led us to fight for constitutional reforms and the spirit that guided our fight for electoral justice in 2007, 2013 and 2017 at huge costs.

KAM Head of Policy, Research & Advocacy,@wanjohijb on @MetropolTVKE - No country has developed without a strong manufacturing sector. When #covid19Ke broke out, we ensured that we continue with production so the country does not run out of essential supplies.

@wanjohijb

KAM Head of Policy, Research & Advocacy, @wanjohijb on @MetropolTVKE - Before the pandemic, our focus was market penetration, profitability & investments. To adapt, we repurposed our production lines to fill supply chain gaps caused by #covid19Ke.

KAM Head of Policy, Research & Advocacy @wanjohijb - We had to shift gears, cut down on costs & maintain prices in order to support the country in order to drive the resilience & sustainability of local industry.

The unfortunate events in @Senate_KE are a very dangerous early warning signal of the open role of security forces in determining the political and public affairs trajectory in #Kenya.

#PoliticalEducationKE

@Senate_KE

The threats and intimidation to @Senate_KE due to revenue sharing basis has a serious chilling effect. It is a direct assault on the Constitution and democracy. It signals dangerous days ahead for every Kenyan.

#PoliticalEducationKE

This is no longer a Senate matter. This is coming in heels of the military takeover in Nairobi City County.

Good evening class!

Here is a #PoliticalEducationKE thread prepared by The Centre for Public Integrity Kenya (CPIK)

The Kenyatta family, conflict of interest and the political economy of State Capture in Kenya

This CAT will contribute 40% towards your end year exams.

@DavidNdii

As Economist Dr @DavidNdii, Uhuru's agemate has been telling us, the Kenyatta family empire has now gone beyond Kshs 5 trillion net worth. Trillion, not billion worth...

#PoliticalEducationKE

With Uhuru at State House, this will continue to rise because of *the conflict of interest corrupt arrangement* where the whole republic is a kitega Mali ama kitega uchumi.

1/ We have education choices!

Private education is too expensive globally.

Private education in Kenya has no value for money when compared to other options. And now we are free to explore new options.

2/ The best thing #COVID19KE has shown our family is the private school our kids were attending pre-COVID19 was not offering value for money. 5th grade, we were paying around 800,000ksh a year and for 8th grade, we were paying 900,000 a year. There are about 90 students per grade

3/ When COVID19 closed schools they gave families (without consultation) a 20% and 25% discount to move to virtual classrooms. They said it was the biggest discount they could offer because they were a non-profit and 70% of their fees went for staff and teacher salaries.

On adapting to the pandemic, KAM CEO @wakiaga_phyllis speaking during the @AKUMediaFutures Webinar, notes that manufacturers have had to be innovative in order to adapt to the changes brought about by #COVID19KE.

#KeepKenyaMoving

KAM CEO @wakiaga_phyllis - Manufacturers had to swiftly shift their focus from increasing profitability, revenue and domestic market share pre-Covid to currently reducing costs, retaining jobs, and improving cash flow.

#KeepKenyaMoving

In spite of rising costs, most manufacturers have not been able to adjust their prices accordingly. This is attributed to a moral obligation to be very supportive of our country as we all work together to overcome the current crisis KAM CEO @wakiaga_phyllis

The #COVID19KE pandemic started as a health crisis, but evolved to affect all sectors, including the economy. The damage to the country is likely to last for long, because of the state of our economy - @IEAKwame

#WIMKe

@IEAKwame

@IEAKwame - Government's economic stimulus should have come earlier to prevent businesses from completely shutting down. When you have an economy that has suffered from supply shocks, the government needs to provide a cushion in all sectors, including economic & social.

#WIMKe

@IEAKwame

@IEAKwame - It is critical to keep businesses close to their workers. To prepare for a rebound, we need to cushion businesses to keep them afloat. The crisis has shown us the importance of a healthy economy, since you can expand debt easily without having a heavy burden.

We started at Nairobi Fire Station at 0613hrs on 15th May 2020 and met John who used to work as a night shift tout, but since the curfew directive was given, feeding his wife and two children has become a struggle.

0625hrs at the Kenyatta Avenue – Kimathi Street intersection. Not sure where this gentleman was hurrying to – red mask, red bag – I hope he wasn’t red carded when he got there.

Musings... #CurfewKenya #EastleighLockdown

I was having a chat with a Somali brother who is locked down in Eastleigh earlier today and I got this epiphany that the curfew and #LockdownKE are not actually meant to control #COVID19KE... It's a cash cow!

That this is actually the usual colonial control tactic of subduing the natives similar to Alcoblow and traffic fines... pay cops poorly then set them free to extort their brothers and sisters... mothers...

#UshenziKE!

#EastleighLockdown

...Ensure cops are rewarded with "tea and mandazi" so that they don't join the rest of us in an uprising against their thieving employer but actually subjugate us through fear and extortion of bribes... while billions are looted by Muthamaki and his cabal...

Termination of Employment in light of #COVID19Ke: Legal consideration.
The impacts of #COVID19 have been felt in nearly all sectors of the global economy.
Question: Can an employer terminate employees’ contracts on account of force majeure/frustration...

A Thread..

..where the business is disrupted due to the Corona Virus?
1/Kenya’s Employment law has no procedure to be followed by employers in terminating employment in case of an outbreak of an infectious disease.However, it provides for various modes &reasons for termination of employees,

..including termination on account of poor performance, misconduct or on account of redundancy.
2/. Under the Act, the employer is under obligation to justify any termination. Hence, it is advisable that any form of termination be done per the options and processes under the Act
