Kenya Government Biggest Employer In 2009
Happy new 2010 and hope your job search and career has taken off smoothly this new year.
Here at the office we were reviewing who had the most job openings in Kenya last year and surprisingly the Government come tops.
As Kenyan private firms cut back on spending due to the economic crunch hiring was left to the Kenyan government and thousands of Kenyan job seekers have gotten jobs courtesy of the public service commission.
The government has embarked on a plan to modernize its operations and the civil service is no longer the place for those who couldn’t secure obs elsewhere. We are optimistic that this year will be the same more so with the expected K’sh 22 billion stimulus package from Ministry of Finance.
Other notable employers for year 2009 include Safaricom,and Yu Kenya.
Banks in Kenya and other financial services players were most affected by recession and they either retrenched i.e stock brokers or stopped hiring. The same went with the tourism industry.
