Just read this story

Some Ugandan guy has worked since 1992 in various organisation's ICT depts, eventually becoming head of ICT. He was at UN,Stanchart, Siemens, Deloitte, Standard Group, Nzoia,Kenya Seed and PSC

You have to have lots of confidence to be a con

Why arrest Obiero when the master forger Joho is enjoying our billions with impunity.

Some jobs i would understand but ICT field which is a very technical field and then survive all those years?something doesn't add up

I had completely missed that angle and now that you have brought it up, it seems the most plausible explanation. Good thinking right there.

Fair argument @Kusadikika. As a young man, I did come across this Nobert and he was fairly competent (plus somewhat modest). Then he disagreed with someone and was outed.

Perhaps that's why Adam Smith once opined '..a criminal is a person with predatory instincts who has not sufficient capital to form a corporation.'

he must be a genius...if not the other angle ---undercover

Wonder where you met him, I did work with him in one of the orgs mentioned above, (different depts offcourse). He was a lazy skirt chasing guy whose best skill was manufacturing excuses for not doing his job and blaming other people, mostly service providers.

I disagree.

Things keep advancing not entirely changing. Your degree may not be enough but certifications should do. Was this dude a certified IT developer? If not, it goes to show the hiring processes are the problem

I totally agree with murchr...I don't know where Kenyans got this idea that people in ICT don't have to read...

My fren, this is the only career where reading is mandatory...Don't believe those lies from wallstreet sijui fb boss and Bill gates did not read...If they don't they die.

Things change so quickly that these companies have to find new talent every day. Each and every day they are hiring and firing. Coz sio mchezo.

So anyone pretending that they know ICT and don't read are just lying to you. And if you hire them coz you were soooo excited about his code, shauri yako. I can write for you a book about the sweet words in interviews and the total calamity once you give these fellas a computer.

I have a story to tell of a very senior ICT guru in this country...Very senior. Who could not use google effectively...Man was using Bing to search for stuff and was telling us how it's the new "dark web". Didn't bother meeting the fella again...And I say very very senior guru...I'm sure he got a certificate in computer studies at computer pride or graffins college. How this fella became so senior should be something the HR department should explain. But he did say he did an MBA at a college I shall not name here.

The HR managers in real life should be in jail for gross negligence. But Kenya is not real life, is it?

You just need to say "I once worked at the UN" and quote some strange terminologies and the panel gets interested in you. If your papers "look good" your in.

In 1991/92 IT assistant at UN must have been printing papers and connecting cables as directed. The UN must have been relying on an outsourcing company so it may have taken some time to get noticed. Then at Stanchart he must have relied on interns and existing employees. Kitumbua huwa kinaingia mchanga when there's a system upgrade and you cant do nada... his jobs have been mainly support, those are easy to joyride directing juniors and running to management with their ideas.
