Insider Reveals More On Struggling Metropol CRB
Newsroom Updated 1 min read
Sam Omukoko is the group managing director for Metropol Corporation Limited
Hi. Thanks for the Metropol story.
Here is more.
The company HR used the recruitment process at MTV to recruit her people. For example, she got a sign language interpreter and paid her 90K while Anchors like Simba and Stephanie and Ingrid earn 50K.
Imagine this is the salary that is going to be halved.
Some other technical people who put in 15bhr shifts are paid 30K
The Ukrainians you talked about are just a tip of the iceberg. There are Indians who have been contracted for software and hardware supplies who are owed 20M.
The biggest mistake that Omukoko made was to start a TV without a plan. Now people who had good positions in other media houses will be paid half or declared redundant.
There is a big big problem at Metropol.
The TV will surely not be sustainable as it depends on the CRB and they are not doing well.
They are packed with many managers who are all relatives of Omukoko and earn fat salaries but do nothing.
