Degree =/= Great Leadership

[LongerTime]

When I hire I prefer people who have tried to do something. Whether they failed or succeeded is irrelevant. It takes balls to try,

Putin, Kim jong un na Xi hawana useless degrees or master but they made their countries superpowers.

Uhuru has a degree from one of the top universities in the United State but all he has achieved is destroying economy and borrowing trillions. He couldn’t even apply some of the basics of Economics.

If they have other skills to offer. For example someone who hustled and grew a business from scratch and managed it for 5 years. That person has a lot to offer

@Tom Bayeye

Kama ako na leadership skills ,why not,you dont learn that from books

Does operating two nduthis qualify?

@Simiyu22

Does operating two nduthis qualify?

For me yes. It sounds simple to someone who hasnt tried it, till they do. Someone who has never tried to employ will never understand

I know many people with degrees will not like this but it’s the truth. Having a degree proves one thing only, that you can take and pass exams. It proves nothing else. If you’re honest with yourself you will agree.
Leadership is about funneling as much resources as possible to the people in the most efficient way. Any person with a level head can do this. From 1963 - 1978 Kenya had many leaders who didn’t have degrees and the economy was growing by leaps and bounds. Training and education is only 20% of the skills needed to be a leader.
You mean to tell me that I need a degree to know that the police in Kenya use excessive force or that each home should have piped water and electricity? Do I need a degree to know that importation of food crops that we can produce in Kenya is bad for the economy? No no and no. These MPigs have degrees and they were bribed in the parliament toilet to can the mercury sugar report

Since you cannot criticise something without offering a solution this is what I would propose.
Scrap the degree rule and replace it with life experience. In the US you can get a masters degree without getting an undergrad degree based on professional experiences. https://online.essex.ac.uk/blog/can-study-mba-without-degree/
If someone is of good moral character and is documented to be running a business for a number of years, that person should be allowed contest for public office. Let the voters decide whether he is fit

Someone must have a minimal education. I believe form four should be good enough. Mambo ya degrees should be left to the professions like doctors, lawyers, engineers etc

Of the four presidents Kenya has had, Kibaki is the only president that had a degree… compare and contrast.

Mugabe was the most Educated president in modern times going back hundreds of years. Compare and contrast. Jamaa had like 4 degrees

Also, remember in 2007 the country was taken to the brink because of Kibakis indecisiveness to quell the violence. Though am a Kibaki fan, I recognize his shortcomings

Huku our president niko sure ata hajui the terms of the loans he takes.

But si Uhunye ako na degree?? Stop shooting yourself in the foot kijana

In Kenya, Participants in most platforms are introduced by schools they attended, and then given a considerable amount of time to tell the audience of their academic journey, and what they scored, then they proceed with the shenanigans at hand.
Across the Atlantic Ocean, pale Murica, The host introduces the Participants, and dwells mostly on their post educational achievements , things like, peer review journals, patents and their involvement in projects.

these guys read alot ata kama hawana degree even hitler was a voracious reader. A bonobo will stop reading anything on paper after graduation. learning never ends

@militiades

these guys read alot ata kama hawana degree even hitler was a voracious reader. A bonobo will stop reading anything on paper as soon as he graduates. learning never ends

yep they do but bottom line is advance education is not an SI unit for leadership for the public office , so many dynamics comes into play.

Hapa Kwa Kijiji, not only WILL WE CRITICIZE WITHOUT OFFERING A SOLUTION, we will also urinate on the thread.

I think so. To run any business successfully you have to do some good management or else you will be burning capital and soon will shut down. Most businesses don’t even last 1 year so to run it for 5 years it says a lot about the owner

Give a legislator with a high school certificate the work of legislating a bill then come back with this nonsense.

It is not child’s play ati kupiga kelele at funerals and church fundraisers.

You can’t compare a graduate with class8 , form 4 drop outs or even diploma holders ,comrades ata Kama degree haimsaidii,they communicate better ,organise better and are better 90% of them .endeleeni kupraise watu hawajai enda shule or semi barked academicians
