WHAT KENYA CAN BORROW FROM SAUDI GOVERNMENT



WHAT THE KENYA GOVERNMENT CAN BORROW FROM SAUDI IN ALLEVIATING UNEMPLOYMENT
Saudization is a term used to refer to the new policy by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to compel all the Saudi employers to designate a specific quota of job opportunities in that organization to Saudi nationals. The policy is implemented by the ministry of labor of the Saudi government.
The government of Saudi formulated this policy with the hope it will significantly arrest the soaring unemployment rates; under the slogan,” put the Saudi in the Saudization.”
Although the Saudi government and its political elite are happy with it, the proponent of this system; the business community harbor mixed feelings. They have sounded alarm bells against its implementation and even attempted to seek a way of repealing it.
It is worthy to note that the program as fashioned by the Saudi government opens doors to the Saudis who take advantage of the government directive. When they take up the jobs their domestic or household economy improves. This is a plus to the government and to the employees and their families. The overall effect is that their domestic economy improves.
From their domestic percapita incomes; their standards of living increases. Their purchasing power and the overall personal development also improves. With an improved living standard comes the comfort of a happy life.
Also, the fact that the unemployed Saudi is able to find work, is both for the good of the government and for the individual; both micro and macro economics are promoted. The government makes income from tax and levies attributed to those employments. The resultant effect is felt too in the domestic trade industry where money is in the hands of the employed.
The Saudization of the Saudi telecommunication has demerits too. First and foremost, most Saudis have become choosy to the extent they only want sedentary jobs; that of course requires less input. This way the implementation of the scheme is curtailed. Consequently the Saudi government misses out on the benefits therein.
Two, by the very fact that this quota is reserved for the Saudi, It pauses a challenge; it becomes hard to fire or punish the Saudis absorbed in this policy since they are immunized by the policy. In fact most of them wouldn’t show up to work or observe responsibility.
The scheme is bound to cause a shift in the economy where all the youths eye the government opportunities, this ultimately lead to neglect of the supporting sectors hence frictional and cyclic unemployment.
If all youths go for these jobs they will not be able to harness their talents for economic gains as they set all their hopes in government jobs. Agriculture is another sector that is not fully under the government quota. If all youths neglect farming and concentrate in official jobs the sectors, like manufacturing industry dies to inadequate supply. The same recession will be for micro business and entrepreneurship.

SUPREME COURT RULING

MY SUPREME COURT JUDGMENT I am not a lawyer and as such I am only qualified to render my layman’s submission to the court of public opinion, where one does not apply to be “amicus curiae.” In the court of public opinion everybody is both a lawyer and judge and so I can adduce my evidence confidently and make a ruling on my evidence. I want to usurp this opportunity to tell my one page judgment as Chief Justice David Maraga advised. The Chief Justice invited the public to read the Supreme Court judgment and subsequently make individual ruling.             Guys I tried to look at Chebukati trying by hook and crook to exonerate the commissioners from the mess and implicating the secretariat. Chebukati clarified they just assumed office a few months ago, coming into an old secretariat. Although the summary ruling of the Supreme Court judgment did not point out the culpability of the first and second respondents, my opinion is; ...

KAPENGURIA SEVEN

REST IN PEACE FALLEN KAPENGURIA SEVEN. My deepest condolences to the bereft families of seven slain gallant, patriotic officers in Kapenguria. This is an article I wrote on the daily nation last year April last year. I have just read it again and I can’t help being remorseful. Police officers go through a lot.   It is sad that by trying to uphold the law, they paid with their dear lives. The officers resolve to remand in custody a man suspected of links with Alshabaab terror group, led to their encounter with the brutal gun Burrell. It is completely ridiculous and preposterous to blame the police officers for their own death and to concoct somehow a political narrative out of this unfortunate occurrence.    Of course the police know better that apart from protecting the lives of the masses, their own security is paramount. Even within the disciplined police service. Such isolated cases of disgraceful acts from rouge police officers will always occur. Radicali...

WHY IEBC MUST NOT RENEGE ON THE 48,000 VOTERS.

WHY IEBC SHOULD NOT RENEGE ON ELECTION RULES. Wafula   Chebukati, must be the most troubled man, sitting on such a hot seat that is the IEBC chair. I am intrigued by his meeting with the presidential aspirants yesterday and how the contenders are pushing him over the cliff to waver on laid down rules concerning presidential nominations. I don’t find any reason why a country like Kenya should register such a huge number of aspirants for the post of president. It is preposterous and laughable for IEBC to waste resources including all these twenty aspirants in the ballot paper. Even if having such an astronomical number of aspirants does not affect the cost of the ballot paper, it will definitely create a huge impact on the final tally of the presidential votes.   It will lead to lots of spoilt votes. The vast list of contenders will lead to confusion especially on illiterate and semi illiterate voters who have nobody to help them vote their preferred candidate. There...
