While most of the people around the world are working from home these days, Fred is not an exception because everyone is trying to adjust to the new work schedules and get themselves busy and occupied.
Fred joins thousands of Kenyans who followed the government’s directive that upon request of the president, Kenyans would be allowed to work from home.
Many Kenyans just like Fred have accepted the new state of how things are getting done and some have requested that companies embraced better use of technology and trying them at our workplaces.
Man, I really hope that businesses in KE learn from this lockdown and embrace the idea of peeps working from home and video conferencing. KENYA from a technology perspective is one of Africa’s leaders. Let’s show the way. Let’s make this a new normal.
