The fact that the government has appointment Safaricom CEO Bob Collymore to the board of the National Cancer Institute just on the basis that he is cancer victim has attracted criticism from Kenyans.
Some people have asked the Safaricom CEO to do the same with Mshwari and Fuliza Loan Defaulters; Give them jobs at Safaricom.
Someone has challenged Collymore to hire at least 100 Fuliza defaulters before taking up his new job.
Hiring this man on the basis that he has cancer does not make sense. It means that all cow owners should be employed by the Kenya Dairy Board or all thieves should get a job at the Police Station.
Bob Collymore was appointed to the board by Health CS Sicily Kariuki despite the fact that he was contemplating to step down from Safaricom over Health issues.
The reactions were almost hilarious as some Kenyans questioned why the government would wait until he was sick before giving him a job. Safaricom had a healthy Collymore.
Someone believes that the Safaricom CEO only got the job because he is a rich man who got sick.
Does Bob Collymore really understand the pligh of a common Kenyan suffering from cancer? This is a man who goes for chemotherapy in the US.
