And this is the reason I really hate working for Kenyans...

Lemme explain:

When we left college, we was so psyched to do free lance jobs,,, making websites, programming etc..

But Kenyans dont want to pay ... And this forced us to get formal employment cos life was abit uncertain...

What is it about Kenyans and paying as a goodwill gesture and not as a forced gesture ??



1. a major bus company contracted us to make a website about 4 years ago,, they wanted flash animations, a section for comments, flashy adverts and even animated Map routes showing buses traveling on their routes across a Map of Nairobi..
    we whipped up 3 quick scheme demos , and even added about 3 animated bus routes and a fictional speech and motto

commitment: the sons of that major bus company tried to steal the templates off the flash disk <so they could get others to finish it or they themselves could finish it>- but we were quick enough to stop that.

 The project went underwater a few weeks after that.

2. a campaigning MP contacted us to make him a website that his supporters could post comments, pledges and send contribution - that meant a PayPal like website or Mpesa tied system.

commitment: we asked for a commitment of 7k to avoid such time wastage as previous jobs. That was the last communication.

Conclusion : I dont know what contracts most of us have got, but from that one year, speaking for myself - I met so many Kenyan Company owners who are very allergic to paying for services they contract start-ups to do for them...

And if they do, most cases have to be wrestled, before they claim a fault in your software and push to pay less...

Ironically, startups provide such solutions very cheaply !

You may see the Ministry of Information, 7th or 10th floor-  about the venues you can pursue to bring that employer to justice.. The ICT board also resides there.
