Kibaki Hirings Frustrate National Unity. A Look At GOVT Appointments.
Kibaki Hirings Frustrate National Unity. A Look At GOVT Appointments.
This article was first published by the Standard Newspaper and does not necessary reflect the views of Careers Point Kenya. We are motivated by the fact that any government appointment must strive for National Unity. First Published on 02/09/2010
By Kipkoech Tanui
President Kibaki appointed Ndegwa Muhoro director of Criminal Investigations Department last Thursday to replace late Gatiba Karanja. But the news was eclipsed by Promulgation of the new Constitution and the fragrance Omar al Bashir left, after the August 27 fete.
Mr Muhoro was ironically appointed with Frank Njenga who is now chairman of National Campaign Against Drug Abuse advisory board. With the stroke of the pen, which defied reason, our national security is now a tribal affair. With the latest appointment, the President seemed to dare the rest Kenyans: I have done it, sasa uta do? (What can you do?)
Let us go over the list of our top security chiefs again. We all know who the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces is. Internal Security Minister is George Saitoti, and as funeral adverts of his late brother showed, the common denominator in the larger Saitoti family is Muthengi, and as some say he is a.k.a Kinuthia.
The Permanent Secretary is Francis Kimemia, the Police Commissioner is Mathew Iteere, and the Administration Police Commandant is Kinuthia Mbugua. The Anti-Terrorist police chief is Nicholas Kamwende, and the head of the VIP protection unit, Recce Company, is Joseph Wanjohi.
The Presidential Escort Commander is Benson Kibue, and Director of Operations Director at Vigilance House is Julius Ndegwa. The Anti-Stock Theft Unit commander is Remmy Ngugi, and Police Spokesman is Eric Kiraithe. The head of National Security Intelligence is Michael Gichangi.

Be Careful. Are You Headed for Termination?
Be Careful. Are You Headed for Termination?
Ever been fired and it was a complete surprise? If you have, it shouldn’t have been. You missed the cues. Whether you created it or the company decided it, you lost control of your career. Frequently those two are intertwined, and if you don’t dissect the experience, you may recreate it.
You don’t need those guys from synovate Kenya and their polls but my own informal survey indicates over 75% of Kenyans hate their jobs. I don’t find that surprising because most people, before they begin their job hunt, don’t do the examination to learn what a good job is for them. Instead of defining, actively seeking, and then choosing their next employer, they allow themselves to be chosen. So it’s no wonder that after a few years or even months — or sooner – disillusion and distaste set in. This, combined with fear of change, creates what they wanted: to be outta that lousy place. In other words, if you don’t tune in, you’ll tune out, and then you’ll be gone.
Do you dread Monday mornings? Do you frequently disappear into your office grumbling about your stupid boss, how you hate your job and have another whole week to get through? If you’ve lost respect and enthusiasm for your company, your attitude is going downhill fast. Next you don’t care about your performance and you start slacking, rationalizing with “I don’t care.” Because you don’t. You start doing the minimum just to get by.
If you don’t notice what’s happening, over time, your company will. So the constant refrain of “I hate my job” – sung to anyone who will listen – is where bells should start going off. If the fun has stopped, it’s time to act. And if you change jobs, you need to go to a new job, not away from your old one. When your attitude is sour and you’re desperate to leave, you lose your objectivity and jump, and risk going from the frying pan into the fire. Desperation does not breed objectivity.
Shortly after the quality of your work has dropped, you’re called into your boss’s office for a chat about your recent performance. If you’ve done some introspection and realized what’s taking place, you may wisely choose to have a heart to heart: you need more challenge or there’s an aspect of your job that’s been giving you difficulty. Maybe you’re having family or personal problems that are siphoning off your mental energy. But if all you do is listen, leave, and silently attack him or her, your days are numbered.
It happens over months, not weeks. Your attitude gradually exacerbates your situation causing you to continue the downward spiral. Management becomes terse with you. Casual conversation ceases, and their smiles are fewer. The new project that should have gone to you is given to someone else or your bonus is withdrawn. Your boss seems nitpicky. Maybe you’ve become invisible. You’re stressed, and it’s affecting your life outside of work, which in turn, you’re bringing back into the office with you.
Any scenario can contribute to this: you’ve outgrown your job, you’re tired of the hours, you feel underpaid, management has changed and philosophies of work differ, or you’ve become tired of the existing management style – who knows what the reason is, but you’d better figure it out and decide what steps you’re going to take to rectify the situation before it’s decided for you.
There are millions of people who hate their jobs, miserably going through the day, in denial about the road they’re on and ignoring their power to change it. How do they miss this? Not everyone does. If it doesn’t compromise your performance and you hide your distaste from those who work there, the only repercussions are to your health for lying to yourself and your fellow employees.
What keeps people from changing is usually fear of change. Change is an anathema to most people, “The devil you know is better than the devil you don’t.” What if you change jobs and the new one is worse? What if you’re more unhappy than you are now?
Bottom line, even if bored,tired or simply hate your job,perform to your leave best as you look for alternatives

Background
The United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) offers a unique combination of investment capital, capacity building and technical advisory services to promote local development and inclusive finance in the Least Developed Countries (LDCs):
* UNCDF's local development programmes support national decentralization strategies in the LDCs and seek to improve social services, governance and pro-poor economic infrastructure at the local level by providing technical assistance and investment capital directly to local authorities.
UNCDF's inclusive finance programmes provide poor households and enterprises with enhanced access to a wide range of financial services by promoting inclusive financial sectors and providing investment capital for emerging microfinance institutions (MFIs) and other financial service providers (FSPs) in the LDCs.
UNCDF's investment capital is flexible, high-risk and innovative. It is channeled primarily to poor rural areas in the LDCs where poverty reduction, capacity and governance challenges are typically the greatest. UNCDF currently invests in 31 LDCs with a total programme portfolio amounting to approximately US$125 million. Through its programmes, UNCDF strives to contribute to the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and to the implementation of the Brussels Programme of Action for LDCs in a direct, concrete and measurable way. See more on www.uncdf.org.
At country-level, UNCDF is represented through the Country Offices of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). UNCDF Programme Officers work within the UNDP Country Offices to support the Country Office in ensuring this role.
The UNCDF Programme Officer will be responsible for the day-to-day management of UNCDF matters in Somalia, the involvement of UNCDF in UN joint programmes, the involvement of UNCDF in the dialogue with other UN organisations, national authorities and other national partners, as well as with the donor community (in collaboration with UNDP and UN RC Office), and the monitoring and reporting of UNCDF-implemented activities of the joint UN programmes.

Do’s & Dont’s In A Panel Interview.
Do’s & Dont’s In A Panel Interview.
You may be forewarned—or you may be surprised when you first walk in. There they are: a panel of people waiting to interview you for a job. Your first instinct may be to panic; not only do you have to impress one interviewer, but several of them!
But there are definite advantages to being interviewed by multiple people at once. The tips below will help you successfully navigate a panel interview while keeping your poise and sanity in check.
Skip the fluff. With one-on-one interviews, you have more of a chance to develop a relationship with your interviewer wherein you may begin to get a sense of what he or she wants to hear.
The good news/bad news situation with a panel is that your success depends more on your job-related abilities than attending the same university as the boss. When they’re comparing notes afterward, panel members will tend to focus more fully on your qualifications, skills, and presentation.
Spread the love. It’s tempting to focus more on the person who seems to be a softer touch. If one person on the panel is smiling and nodding encouragement, who wouldn’t want to talk directly to her? But it’s important that you make eye contact as equally as possible with all of the interviewers.
Start and end your answer by making eye contact with the person who asked the question, but during the course of your response, look at the others present. Also, unless the panel is made up of 10 people, make an effort to remember and use their names when speaking to them.
