CAPTION: The CEO of Safaricom Bob Collymore during his wedding to Wambui Kamiru. Safaricom the bitter option has once again done it.
A bitter campaign targeted against the editor of this website Cyprian Nyakundi has erupted on social media, spearheaded by Jubilee blogger Abraham Mutai. Mutai was the character who was saved by Kenyans after being wrongfully detained, for linking first mother Mama Ngina Kenyatta, to poaching. Mutai has since turned his back on the same Kenyans, and is now working with the same establishment thieves he spoke against.
It is normally not our position to respond to struggling bloggers who extort corporates, lying to them that they can launch smear campaigns against Cyprian Nyakundi, because he has nothing to lose. He is not answerable to any power, and only seeks to inform Kenyans about information sent to him anonymously.
But for the people this website has exposed, they are answerable to their shareholders, to the regulators, to the laws of the land, to their clients and to posterity. Paying struggling bloggers to launch smear campaigns isn't confronting reality; it's escapism.
One way or another, the truth eventually comes out.
After a two month rigorous interview process involving on-phone recording, aptitude tests, oral interviews, medical and a background/reference check, Safaricom engaged and contracted over 200 candidates in there Customer Experience Executive (C.E.E) program on the 15th Nov 2016 with an initial training program of 8 weeks.
To the surprise of over 10 candidates, their training was discontinued barely 2 weeks into the program with no explanation except issuance of a letter citing preconditions and unsuitability of credentials.
Is Safaricom claiming to not have done proper background checks and vetting prior to engaging these 10 candidates? This is hypocrisy of the highest order!
Efforts to get an explanation from the HR department have been unsuccessful. Caption: Maria Shipiri, Head of Department – Human Resources Business Partner, for Consumer and Enterprise Divisions. What is disappointing the most is that people left/resigned from other jobs, contractual engagements and businesses to take this offer only to be disappointed a fortnight later.
Bob Collymore is turning out to be a heartless moron.
The questions were intense that we can't imagine whats going through the minds of these candidates right now.
