CitizenTV attributes the following to Dr. Ndemo as pertains to the subject: "<font><span>Information PS says over 1,000 ppl have applied for KBC jobs to replace striking workers from tomorrow</span></font>".<br>
<br>Conditional upon the fact that we (listers) are entitled to our opinions, I'd like to believe this is one of those cases of "I was misquoted".<br><br>Dr. Ndemo??<span><font color="#888888"><br>
<br></font></span></blockquote></div><div>In my view, the reason why there is a pregnant silence on this matter could be that the system at KBC and by far, MoIC, does not subscribe to change. <br>I don't see why it should take the minister to arbitrarily fire people who are expressing their constitutional rights. I seen it like the legendary ostrich that buries it's head under the sand, yet the problem is still intact. <br>
The Minister should have listened to the voices of the striking workers and act according to the claims. <br>I see the strike as the tip of the iceberg.<br><br>Solomon<br><br></div></div></blockquote></div><div><br>I'll keep the fire burning on this one by quoting from the Social Media:<br>
<br><a href="https://www.facebook.com/senator.munyao" target="_blank">Munyao Jnr Vincent</a> <span>Ts
always the hard way with the government institutions KBC should in the
same league with CNN, BBC but due o stooges put there as MDs and
directors whos tym has passed for new ideas and protecting individual
interest for a few thats y we have had these problems in the
corporation. M at pain wen i c Minister Poghision working like wahindi
in ndustrial area while he is has been a lecturer in Communication for
quite long</span> <br></div></div><br><a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000532382248" target="_blank">Stephen Sang</a> <span>Shutdown the station its useless.infact nobody watches it. Its programs are vague<br>
<br></span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000384364703" target="_blank">Mugo J Mugo</a> <span>This
is babaric and inhuman of Pogisho and he should withdraw his draconian
rule of advertisin those posts. That shows how unwiling he and the
government in general is in solving the existing issues. And for the
kenyan population lets support these ladies and gentlemen in their
strike let no 1 apply 4 this jobs its like robbing your brother his
catch. This jobs ziko na wenyewe. <br><br>Why should the staff be sacked for striking, which is a constitutional right? These are the same staff who striked some time back and were convinced to get back to work, right? So there is no case of gross misconduct here, which is what warrants a dismissal, right?<br>
</span><span>The strike obviously is about
reforms, and reforms must be wholesome - good work environment, better
pay, changing with the times... I wonder why the govt is using the
carrot-and-stick tactic in this. Those newly recruited staff will face
the same problems being faced now, and will strike some day too. It's
better to solve the problem now, not sweep it under the carpet in a
way..<br><br>And this KBC issue reflects quite negatively on Dr. Ndemo's management style, because he is the chief govt technocrat involved in this.... Is the PS (technocrat) rightly advising the Minister (politician) in this saga????<br>
<br><br></span></blockquote></div></div><div>Thanks Odhiambo for these.<br><br>I'm also made to understand that the workers are not complaining of salaries, but there are issues to do with sexual harassment of female interns and other workers by their superiors.<br>
