Watu huku inje are suffering. Mtu amekaa 7 months surviving on debts, waking up early kukuja kufanya job kama unpaid intern. I feel bad for them.

Trditional Media is on its deathbed. Ndio maana unaona siku hizi kazi yao ni endless Lottary Games za ku con Low IQ villagers with Spin N Win nonsense. Kamare kama ile ya Accra Road ya Farasi na Nyota.

Noma sana, 7 months bila salary, especially sisi singles banae? Btw why can’t man Gideon and co sell to the new types wa kk? Ama company debt load is crazy?

Capitalism at its finest. A big corporate failing to pay multiple workers for 7 months of work without consequences. Meanwhile wewe ukikosa kulipa ile thao tatu ulichukua branch yenye hata ulisahau 2 months washapigia khupipi, side chick, na mashemeji wote hadi family gathering story tu ni lipa deni.

We said some time ago that traditional media is slowly dying. Few people rely on radio and TV for news and information

In .ke, the vast majority of citizens still get their news and info from radio and TV and newspapers

Why can’t that Gidion Kalenjin just pump in a billion or two to rescue the standard ?

My guess is that hakuna breadwinner kwa hao employees. That’s why they can survive for 7 months just hoping things will turn around. In other words, most of the affected employees must be women and maybe countable men wale wamejipanga na other side hustles. The average man can’t survive without a paycheck for 7 months bila kujitoa.

Some of the lotteries cannot even qualify as harebrained. If I were employed in the media halafu nijikute nimepewa assignment ya kusukuma some of the lotteries, I would resign in addition to kicking my supervisor in the gonnads.

Even if he injects, it will still fail. And where will he get a billion? Mois wealth is shared between his 5 kids. Ata yeye ni kurushiwa kakitu kila mwezi. He doesn’t control it in entirety.

What exactly would be the motivation? Halafu I don’t like how you dismissively throw around the word billion as if it is something uncircumcised boys like you can play around with. Are you even aware that were you to withdraw 50,000 daily without fail to spend on lanyes and alcohol it would take you slightly over 54 years to burn through a billion?

Hapo ata mimi nitajitoa. There’s a expense associated with going to work daily: gasoline, lunch, clothes. How can you be doing that for free. By 3 months, 90% of short term savings is depleted. By 6-8 months, and your long term savings is probably gone. The only reason to stay is to look good on your cv.
There’s no way they will pay back-wages.

I have had the experience of managing a finance department in times of troubled cash flows. It is a very precarious situation. Kila.mtu anafikiria wewe ndio umekalia pesa yao forgetting that you are just a mere employee. I had a lady once show up at my office with a near dead child, a man who once sat on the floor in my office from 8am mpaka 5pm mpaka nikamnunulia lunch na kumpea fare from my pocket, a panga welding chap and several other people threatening to undress in my office. Wote ilikuwa ikifika mbali nawakumbusha sina deni yao personal wanadai kampuni so wasiniletee ujinga yao.
Worse were fellow colleagues and some directors who despite being aware of our shitty cash flow situation bado wangebeba matawi from time to time. I would present my cash management plan then invite everyone to prioritise. Wengi walikuwa wanaingia mitini coz unawauliza point blank tukanyagie statutory payments na loan repayments for example tulipane mshahara kwanza.
