Fairmont shuts down Norfolk, Mara Safari Club hotels; all employees fired

Mater Hospital employees will take a pay cut for the next four months owing to challenges brought about by the Coronavirus pandemic.

"All staff will unfortunately take a pay cut in the month of June, July, August and September in a graduated scale according to their pay. Details will be communicated in the individual letters," read a statement by Mater Hospital's CEO, Professor Dominic Mwenja.

The East African Portland Cement has asked all its employees to apply for voluntary early retirement in a measure aimed at making the company adapt to the changing business environment.

Kenya’s cement industry has witnessed a significant decline in productivity, resulting in depressed revenues and manpower utilization leading to unprecedented job losses

Three quarters of all small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are staring at a total collapse by the end of June as cash-flows shrink.

Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) Governor Patrick Njoroge made the revelation Thursday while referencing an April survey by McKinsey and Company which paints the expected doom on the Kenyan economy by the end of June.

According to the survey conducted under its financial decision maker sentiment series, 52 percent of surveyed respondents are unsure of an economic recovery while 16 percent of the surveyed are pessimistic.


Change is inevitable, that's why we are witnessing people who are/were in formal sector trying to adjust by some selling groceries using their cars. The car loans have to be paid. Mortgages have to be paid.
Have just come to realize that a kanyumba kidogo gichagi is of great importance as you can relocate as you try to make the ends meet again.
It's also a lesson that we be having side hustles to supplement our salaries.
The production lines that won't be much hit is production of basic agricultural products. Watu lazima wakule. Communication field won't also be hard hit. People have to communicate.
David Ndii's had seen all these. People going back to the basics.
 
Hotels shutting down is more or less inevitable; there's going to be little (if any) international tourism this year. And domestic tourism isn't going to take up the gap for more touristy establishments. The fixed costs of a big hotel such as the Norfolk are massive, if the investor can not keep up with them, they will shut down until things look up.
 
What they are not tellingnis the myriad of small businesses that have had to close down or reduces operations,the numerous project za watu wa mashinani that have been put on hold or stopped for good coz of the virus.
Of course they do not have such data. They only concentrated on Nairobi,coz of the lockdown....deeeemn!

Things are elephant...

Serikari yenyewe ata mishahara inaweza washida. Siku za Moi watu walikuwa ata wanangoja 2-3 months. The cost of living pia ilikuwa shiiiiini. We had not urbanised kabisaa

Si these guys are rooting for the closure of Keroche, which has employed watu wangapi tena?
 
Nyinyi mnajua ni ma deejay wangapi wana lia since Feb aki some busy body in government thinks ati streaming online gigs generates good money now they want to regulate it.

Ukweli tu, how many views can you fish from these Kenyans that use daily mbandos.
Assuming kila MTU ako na WiFi it will need 1k subscribers and at least 4k minutes for YouTube to pay you.

Ni wangapi walikua na verified channels before Feb

Sheeenzi
 
Poleni maDJ; as usual government haishibangi na ikiskia kuna mtu ananukisha kitunguu mahali they want to partake with you, penda usipende.

Najua inauma, but npia kuna positive; let more people feel the pinch of taxation yetu ya upumbavu, so that pesa zikitumiwa vibaya ituumize wote na labda tutafikiria kabla ya kuchagua viongozi tena.
 
We used to have a hoe maker in my village. When I needed a new school uniform, I had my mzee's favourite to turn to. All those people were replaced within the last 30 years. Things are going to change a lot.

You are absolutely replaceable. I like to remind myself that my family would still continue living and eating even when I were rotting in the morgue.

Be practical, be realistic!

On top of that youtube will demonitize you if studios start claiming copyright infringement.
These are some of the rules many djs in kenya ignore when opening youtube channels.
