I will not celebrate the dismissal. I have been sacked from a job and I know it’s weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you may also know, many of you are hear courtesy of Dennis. Itumbi is a hardworker in whichever end he works from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But likewise I will not be critical of the sacking. Actually if I were Government I would probably have fired him long time ago. And Iam not just typing this, Iam saying what I would tell him one-on-one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dennis was a senior director (Digital Innovation and Diaspora Communication). A fairly big post in Government. In a country where more than 70% of his contemporaries are jobless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don’t know how you would have worked if you were in that position but certainly you wouldn’t do it the way he did. Iam sure it was a job with a JD but it can’t be what Dennis was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Civil servants don’t and should never enjoy the latitude that DI had. A government worker is required to serve the Government of the day. And I mean the whole Government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A civil servant may have opinions about a government and it’s leaders but being in government means you can’t just be blatant in your expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dennis decided not only to work for one wing of the Government but to totally undermine the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Private bloggers may do that. Part-time facebookers like me may do that. We have other things to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A government employee can’t openly join and take sides in an altercation between the President and his deputy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He may take sides behind closed curtains but strictly observe loyalty. Dennis and co would still face the axe even if it were William Ruto in State House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dennis was not a blogger but a civil servant. If all civil servants were to take the route that he took there will be no country tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
