Wednesday, September 27, 2023 –Renowned lawyer Wahome Thuku has faulted graduates who come out of campus with high hopes of getting employed by someone.
Commenting on the current situation facing former Citizen Tv reporter Kimani Mbugua, Lawyer Wahome has said many young men get it wrong when they tend to dump all their hopes on employment without having plan B should things go hey wire.
Singling out journalism career as the best example, the lawyer noted that many talented journalists in the country and who believed in employment have, in recent days, lost their jobs amid reduced revenues in major media companies, within.
For this reason, they have been rendered hopeless some sinking into depression despite having necessary qualifications and skills to start their own related business.
“This where problems with journalism in Kenya starts and ends. And not just journalism, even many other careers. Being employer dependent.
“When an employer is done with you, you get done with your life as well. I will say what I have posted here many times, if your careers can not self-employ you, get something else to start doing before the employer of that career gets done with it,” Thuku advised.
The Lawyer further spoke about investments among young men who get jobs and fail to think about investing a portion of their earnings because they believe they will be employed forever.
“Invest heavily. Every time I sit down with a young university graduate looking for a job, I always ask them one question, “supposing that job does not come in the next 6 years or doesn’t come at all, what is your plan B”? But if (if) you must be an employee for life, wish you well,” he further noted.
Mbugua, who days ago recorded himself asking for some support from well-wishers following his failed media career, has also expressed his willingness to rejoin Citizen Tv should there be a second chance.
“I don’t mind going back to Citizen Tv. I was doing broken news. Broken news was one of the most enjoyable shows I have ever done. If there is a second chance, I am open if no well and good,” Mbugua told a local media channel.
So far, Kenyan popular Tik Toker Nyako has helped raise a whopping sh 500,000 for the former Broken English host in just one session.
Many successful Kenyan celebrities have had to fall from grace to grass due to what was found to be lack of financial discipline during their prime career days.
For instance, Joseph Kamau aka Omosh of former Tahidi High had to beg Kenyans for help after squandering his fortune he had secured from his years of acting.
Well-wishers had to come in with millions of donations before they also build him a home.
