All short sighted administration starts by cutting training budget. The future can sort itself out. They say.

The civil service has been holding training and benchmarking workshops since independence.

We have been training learners in class 1, form 1, First year, masters, PhD, and on the job for longer!
What makes you think that the only cost cutting measures must come from cutting all the training budget?
Inept leaders think about short term objectives and forget that we need succession planning.

Especially in Health and allied subjects.
UK, Europe and USA respects us in no small way because we have relentlessly continued training more than enough nurses when they can’t with all their money and resources.
Right now as we speak, USA and UK are after our nurses.

I said it here I appreciate our KMTC. We should go all the way and adopt the Cuban/Rwandese healthcare model. Top notch education coupled with grassroots level preventive medicine!

And something else they call continuous health education that happens in the workplace. It ensures health workers have the latest knowledge and techniques as they get known in the world. With training budget cut it means those who train the others cannot visit facilities and neither can they go to be trained locally and abroad themselves.

Don't get me started on CPD! Some CEOs think that Continuous Prefessional Development is optional. The biggest competitive edge any organization can have is developing and maintaining highly skilled workforce! If you can't develop your people, you are doomed!
It's so natural to take in and nurture talent while improving and challenging those that you have. Why doesn't everyone look at it this way?

Sometimes you are just annoying.
How do you expect to have competent staff of you don't train them on your work technology?
Tech keeps changing, and failure to train your staff means you are not only losing out the benefits of advanced tech, but also exposing yourself to the threwts that come with it.
It was easier to cut travel budget.

A typical quotation for training is like this:
1) 5-day training 50,000
2) Air ticket 150,000
3) Accomodation 50,000
4) Per diem 100,000
Total per person 350,000

I didn't know that our civil service, like Nasa scientists or Meta programmers, is at the cutting edge of technology. Poor me thought that 99.876543 per cent spend their days shuffling papers and picking their noses. Oh, wait, perhaps there are new high-tech ways of doing that they need to learn?

Admean hatafurahia ukiniita porcupine.
But I will tell you that behind that 98.87% of paper shufflers, there's a 1.2% doing real work, of which cutting-edge technology is core.
