Kenyan’s high rate of unemployment manifested yet again on Saturday morning as tens of thousands braced early morning cold to get an opportunity to work with Sarova Stanley Hotel, who had announced job offers in one of their departments.
The scenario could clearly challenge the government’s report that the employment rate stands at 77.4 per cent.
By 10:30 am in the morning, a long queue which could be of the size of more than one Kilometer was locked lying on a marked wall, an exercise which according to the management had begun at 6:30 am on Saturday morning.
“I came here at 5 am. I am yet to gain entry into the interviewing panel although more entry by job hopefuls has been blocked which has locked down thousands who came here early armed with their CVs,” Jane Muthoni, who has a degree in hospitality and was one of the candidates told the Standard.
With optimism gleaming in their faces, some of the hopeful job candidates kept themselves busy with national newspapers. Majority of them seemed to be enjoying a slice of the stories on the national dailies delving into the billions of shillings scandals that seemed to have carried headlines of the day in the national newspapers as they waited for their turn.
“I am almost getting in, to present myself. I have a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from JKUAT. I was among the first group to arrive here to try my luck,” one of the hopefuls who was reading a newspaper in the queue but asked for anonymity told us.
This comes as the country seems to have been fell flat by cartels companies who in the latest NYS scandal are said to have siphoned 9 billion through dubious tendering processes. Also on the list is the maize scandal where 18 merchants are said to have benefited from billions of shillings that were meant to buy maize from farmers.
Over 3,000 brace morning cold at Sarova to get employed as country falls flat to graft
