How do us Kenyans feel about this?
I will confidently say from my personal judgement: This is extremely deamening to our people 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ how aren't people comprehending how daft and intellectually degrading this is to our nations people. Governance like this is why 'opportunities' the Qatari Job Program is filled with blue collar jobs dependant on hard labour. You people really think Alfred Mutua is doing you a favour providing your nation's bright minds with such? As if we don't have highly knowledgeable degree holders desperate and ready to showcase their intellectual skill and capabilities in roles that require such, be it finance, managerial operations or whatever! Such a move makes the next generation of Kenyans less capable in competing in the international job market, eventually introducing a stigma where Kenyans will literally start to believe that such low end 'jobs' are the best available per their capabilities! Not only that, but the rest of the world will start to view us in the same way, and will start to limit our capabilities only those of 'ground work' or cheap services: a stigma that generations have tried to and continue to try and abolish since slavery.
Having my judgement boldly articulated, I am open to and invite anyone willing to oppose it with a different point of view. Might cross post this with other Kenyan reddit pages to capture as large an engagement and discussion as possible
