Bad PR day:

I think others who have done this – especially to Phd level should know better. Remember it does not matter what the facts are – only the few and resilient among us I think really believe anything said by the politicians. I think most are just bearing with the situation.

I have not seen the leaflets and sorry I’m not interested I suspect it is the same story where the truth is well hidden. The president’s press secretary (!?) is coming out fighting – what is this man’s job description? I understand he also produces TV programs. Surely he knows more about packaging than any common Kenyan on the street – for the love of God that must have been part of communication 101.

Day after day we watch them make a fool of themselves.
Again one does not need one to have a Phd to understand that ‘If you find yourself in a ditch stop digging!.’ I could have sworn that is taught in any communications class/PR.

What is frustrating is after a long day you expect at least something positive on the evening news only to be met by clowns who are not amusing.

After all the leaflets should have come before the government (oops sorry the president) signed the bill. They are supposed to be a team at least – I wonder what they discuss at State House because everything they touch of late seems to go wrong.
Now that is someone I wouldn’t hire in my PR team – I know I’m harsh I don’t know what went down (I doubt if it would have made a difference). One person who is going to look really bad is none other than the President’s spokesman – everything the government touches rubs off the masses in a bad way. So what is he waiting for now that the President has ordered a fresh review of the concerns of media owners – well of course after signing the Bill into law (?).

Probably my most negative post to date, I hope you can tell I’ve had a beautiful day!

It’s a brand new year by the way let’s see where this takes us.
