Dear William:

I agree with you -- in part.And may be it's all because our economy is 'such a baby' to be able to sustain the best status required in employee distribution at different functional and business process levels.

Note, gramatical errors are all over the place, especially on websites [led by Government websites].

I say this because, I feel our problems are largely that we do not endeavor to "specialize" on what we do, so that we can do it better and better every time we make an attempt. Work is simply divided in terms of roles. An employer may employ an editor but the editor end ups doing many other things. Both the former and the later do not invest in learning to acquire specific skills and tools of trade to do well at the editing job. Both in public and private sector, we are not keep to specialize and learn, towards taking control of what we do. All the time, we do things 'halfheartedly', not surely and convincingly. May be this is changing as we approach Kenya Vision 2030.

There are many unemployed Kenyans, with good qualifications.........but you find employers struggling to maintain a small workforce that is hardly focused or consistent at what they do. Take for example 'Government ICT employees', they are simply employed as ICT Officers. None of them is employed to specifically deal with certain issues e.g. just web content management. Not web development or design or even web analysis.

Until we learn how to specialize, thus creating space and jobs for others who are jobless...............we will never be complete. There will always be gaps and 'grammatical errors'.
