The recent strikes witnessed by the country if anything, seeks to reveal the rotten part of the government. Government employees are characterised with poor working conditions and minimal wages compared to their counterparts in private sector holding the same credentials. The Kenyan government flexes its muscle of dictatorship in the way they respond to the needs and grievances raised by their workers. In a way is as if they are telling their employees that after all, whether you shout or hit the doors, we are the government and what you as mere people going to do to us?
The arrogance is portrayed in the ministerial statements in media briefs where the respondents, oblivious of reality check, easily blutters words like, 'you are sacked if you don't report back to work as of tomorrow.' What a ridiculous response?Dealing with problems objectively is what our country top brass leadership has never learned regardless of many awkward positions they have found themselves in. They have provided laughing stock cafes scenarios in front of their juniors when issuing their senseless ultimatums. They choose to forget that whoever they are handling involves an equal mature person who deserves their respect as human beings. Void of such knowledge, government goes ahead to respond to the capital matters as though they are another stupid questions contrived by a kindergarten boy.
Incompetence and lack of professionalism has come of age to settle permanently in the Kenyan government. At no point as the leadership ever came forward and keenly solved an issue as per the urgency. There has to be always sinking under the sand drama and fixations of time wastage. The lives of many people are normally put on line as this logger heads takes center stage. Tirades, careless use of words must at all times surface up from the said ministers.
Government has for a long time undermined their workers at the expense of good service. The demoralizing nature that they take them through is surely an awful ordeal that ought to have been discarded in the ocean many years away. Their baseless authoritativeness and barbarianism is unwarranted and instead as a chief leadership pillar of the country, they should learn to put their senses where their mouth is involved and avert the many mediocre embarrassments that they put their image under. The level of their integrity is largely questionable and a bad taste as well as unfair to the Kenyan public. As a nation, we deserve better responsible ways of countering crisis than what we are ordinarily treated to every time a sticky issue signs on the public. Matters touching on governance ought to be handled with requisite professionalism and that is what the Kenyan government must learn to content with regardless of what it thinks of itself.
