We Kenyans who are employed need to be honest with the public. Most of us are employed by luck. Employment is so constricted, that getting education and "experience" is simply betting and winning. It has little to do with competence. #maishakazini #mynetwork #toxicworkspaces

Many corporate communication execs worked in media houses first. That means that to get those jobs, you need to get your foot into one of the main media houses first. How many are they?

You can literally count them on your fingers. #maishakazini #toxicworkspaces #mynetwork

So if limited media houses already limit who can get corporate communication jobs, people who get them mistake that job for their competence. But actually, they were lucky to get the first media job that made them competent. #maishakazini #toxicworkspaces #mynetwork

In any case, the fact corporates hire former media people is a problem for press freedom. It represents the revolving door between business and public information, so news is biased towards corporates and is controlled by corporates. #maishakazini #toxicworkspaces #mynetwork

We Kenyans need to realize that unemployment is not a mistake. It's by design. It's constructed on very limited business opportunities and on telling stories that make unemployment the fault of the victims. #maishakazini #toxicworkspaces #mynetwork
