Many of my clients often express frustration over the tendency of applying for positions that are already filled, leaving them feeling disheartened. Just last week, one of my clients shared a painful experience. She had applied for a government position advertised by the Public Service Commission in Kenya. Despite meeting all the qualifications and possessing the necessary skills, she was devastated when she logged into the portal and saw the message, "not successful." Later, she learned from someone else that many government jobs in Kenya are often awarded before the application process even begins. It's common knowledge that politicians often distribute these positions among themselves and their relatives. Securing a government job in Kenya is challenging unless you have connections or are willing to pay a bribe. This reality makes the hiring process in the public sector not only unfair but also demoralizing for qualified candidates. It’s deeply concerning that government jobs are not being given to deserving individuals in our country. We must speak out against this corrupt hiring culture and the toxic employers who believe they control the nation’s future. Everyone pays taxes, so when it comes to job opportunities, they should be distributed fairly and without corruption. What I've come to realize is that Kenya no longer operates like a country—it has been turned into a private entity, where public resources are misused for personal gain.
