looks very morally wrong to declare a profit of a record Kshs 13B and the next day announce you will sack Kenyans. These guys are basically milking Kenyans dry and I think the govt or the relevant bodies should do something. It's just wrong.

Staff to be laid off are not in Africa, let alone Kenya.
Wacha kupeleka vita ya CORD na Jubilee kwa BBK.

Shame on you Shame on you Shame on you

Did you hear him say so or you are vomiting what you have just read from subNation paper?
Tune in to BBC radio/TV and get first hand info.
I will not speak about this again.

“We have recently been in contact over the matter of pending retrenchments at Barclays. But we need to see what they are floating as compensation for those who will leave before we can move forward,” Bankers, Insurance and Finance Union (BIFU) secretary- general Isaiah Kubai said.

I think the reality is with us now and organisations all over the world are going for leaner more efficient, technologically driven workforce. Retrenchments will happen as investors continue complaining about staff costs. It's innovate or die world (unless you are KPLC).

BBI will solve it

I am getting confused now. I heard the CEO say that the retrenchments are not in Kenya, that they are only affecting the Investments arm of Barclays and he went ahead to announce a 7.7% increase in profit. In fact, he said Kenyan staff shall not be affected. Kwani what is the correct position?
