The End Of Robert Alai? Dennis Itumbi Sues Robert Alai And Wins!

Dennis Itumbi has managed to teach Robert Alai a thing or two about irresponsible speech regarding other individuals!
The law suit stems from a tweet Alai made alleging that Dennis Itumbi had authored (read forged) the
"U.K Dossier". Robert Alai who is known for his wanton venomous twitter tirades and attacks on individuals -such as myself- now might just have to pay Dennis itumbi for any damages he may have suffered as a result. On July 2nd there will be a hearing to prove worth.

<The photo Robert Alai alleged was of me>

When i heard this story, I contacted Dennis Itumbi and this is what he had to say:
"The matter is still in court. Let the process end."
At the core of the matter, the issue is, Robert Alai was served with notice but neglected to file a response for the last 8 months. According to my source who happens to be in the legal fraternity, Dennis Itumbi therefore asked for judgement and it was handed in his favour.
And when you hear the nitty gritties of the case, you cannot help but be astounded by the douchebag behaviour displayed by Alai who was simply asked for an apology to settle the matter but he refused ergo the move by Dennis Itumbi to go to court. And when in court, he couldn't substantiate his allegations even after asserting that he could.

And this is actually a legal landmark. It has set a precedence in defamation cases. it's the first to be concluded by the Kenyan Judiciary. My friend whom I will not mention has whispered that Dennis Itumbi could be handed as much as...
As much as...


40 MILLION KENYA SHILLINGS!

Alai will either pay or have his property auctioned. And this is a warning to all you Subaru tweeting pseudo-intellectuals quick to take jibes at people without substantiating what you claim...Social media isn't no man's land! The long arm of the law will catch up to you! Uncle Chim Tuna Obiajulu has spoken!

Jaguar Addresses The Haters: The Car And Plane Are...

Jaguar recently released pictures of his car and Cessna plane and the internets went wild with naysayers running to twitter to talk all types of smack. They went on to rubbish Ghafla for the report that the plane was his.

I wanted to release the troll hammer aptly dubbed "rungu" on every last one of the haters but Bab Ghafla told me not to step off the throne to deal with those that know not the meaning of noble. Beat them with facts said he.

So I reached out to jaguar who said that the only things he doesn't own on the set of his video shoot was the airport! Jay Z tings! Read about all his other cars here.

Yeah, the cessna cost him a paltry 18million Kenya shillings, the Bentley? I shan't divulge. and all this is from the horse's mouth so for heaven's sake, get off that hating tip and do something with your lives!

And if you think all these toys are just vanity, if you think Jaguar is a prideful braggart, you are sorely mistaken! He was recently on a charity mission to St. Catherine's Children's Home Kibera with Grand Pa Records and he rode in a matatu!

Exclusive: Jaguar's New Video Is Out!

It's probably the most anticipated video this year thanks to the much hype it has generated during its shoot where a Bentley and a plane were involved.

Am talking about Jaguar's fresh video for his latest single that just dropped a few minutes ago. Without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, I give you "Kipepeo" the video;

Are you about to get fired, resign from a job or are you jobless?

There are various situations that occur which may lead you into losing your or starting to hunt one. For example the financial year is over and no one is getting a bonus, performance reviews came and went with no adjustment of salaries, and your company's main competitor recently laid off half its staff. You've noticed the bosses going into closed-door meetings and the human resources director seems awfully busy. With the recent power management, you start wondering……….

Pufffffffff, something is not right or is there? Maybe you're paranoid, and there's nothing to worry about or maybe not. With thousands of workers laid off in a broad range of industries and an economy doing poorly, it seems that no one is safe from the threat of being downsized, terminated, laid off, or let go. If you've been hearing rumors at the office about imminent layoffs, it might be wise to act as though they may be true.

To some people, this signifies the end of life but no, the interesting part has just began. Experts propose the following steps:

1.   Keep working: If you work harder now than you ever have before, your work ethic may rub off on your coworkers and together, you could pull your company out of its pit. Seriously, your supervisor could notice the valiant effort you're putting forth in the face of uncertainty and decide to reward you by not eliminating your job. Your coworkers will remember what a friendly, helpful, hard worker you are and recommend you to their new bosses at their new companies when they get new jobs after you all get laid off.

2.   Update your CV and interview skills: You'll have a head start on the job search if your resume is ready to go as soon as you need it. Update it now with information about your current job and any new skills you've recently acquired. Ask a friend, discreet coworker, or professional resume writer to have a look at it. Print out several hard copies on nice paper so you'll have them on hand. While you're at it, start refreshing your interview skills. If it's been a long time since you last undertook a job search, you might not be aware of the most current interview styles. Even if you are, practice and preparation will ensure that you're confident and capable when interview time comes.

3.   Put out feelers: Discretion is the key but it's not a bad idea to start looking for a new job now. Let close friends and family members know that you might be in the market soon and ask them if there are any openings at their companies. Post your resume on job boards that allow you to prevent your current company from accessing it, and keep an eye on the classified ads and Internet job listings. Pay attention to what the market is like now so you won't be surprised if you do lose your job. And if you see a dream opportunity, don't be afraid to jump on it. If you don't, and you're laid off, you'll regret it.

4.   Expand your skills: While you still have extra money, consider enrolling in a course or two to update your marketable skills. Not only will this enhance your resume, but it will keep you busy and help you make contacts if you do get laid off, as well as opening your eyes to career opportunities you might not have thought of otherwise.

5.   Start saving money: Conventional wisdom holds that you should have enough savings to support yourself for three months. If you haven't been saving already, this might not be possible, but do the best you can. The more money you have on hand, the less traumatic the layoff will be. You'll also be able to take your time finding a new job, instead of having to desperately accept the first offer that comes your way. If you want to, you'll be able to take some time off to study or travel. You'll also want to start investigating what a layoff will mean to your pension plan. Look into unemployment insurance, too. If you carry a balance on your credit cards, investigate whether the lender offers an insurance program that would allow you to suspend payment in the case of unemployment. If you've been putting off getting a wisdom tooth pulled or visiting the eye doctor, do it now while you're on your company's health plan.

6.   Clean out your computer: When the big layoff actually comes, you'll be lucky if you have more than half an hour to remove personal files from your computer before it's turned off. To avoid the stress of that situation, start copying personal documents onto floppies, deleting them from your work computer's hard drive, and taking them home. Do the same with any hard-copy documents of a personal or private nature.

7.   Don't freak out: The coming weeks or months will undoubtedly be scary. If you're well prepared, you'll feel much less pressure and you'll be able to see the situation much more objectively. Keep your wits about you and try not to let work - related stress get to you too much.

Remind yourself that you're doing what you can; other than that, it's out of your hands. Don't feel disloyal for taking these steps because you have to take care of yourself. Stay calm and look on this as an opportunity and a learning experience. Find someone trustworthy you can confide your fears in; if you're really panicky, think about seeing a counselor. And remember that this happens to the crème de la crème of the job industry and thus you are not alone.

If you pray to God, Allah, Brahama or any other, this is the time to get closer to HIM but not just for the sake of it but also for guidance.

We all look forward to such a situation like this not happening but you are better prepared than surprised.

How to avoid stress during interviews

The interviewer is buttoned-up, formal and not smiling as warmly as you would have liked. The interview chair is hard and unwelcoming, your palms and face are sweating profusely, your normal eloquence has given way to stuttering and stammering and you have begun to tremble from head to toe. If you are one of the multitudes of jobseekers who begin to hyper-ventilate at the very thought of interviewing for a new position and to whom the interview is a source of unlimited stress and trepidation, the following are some basic tips to help you through your interview woes:

1.   Imagine the interviewer is more stressed out than you are: A technique favored by many to alleviate their own stress is to remind themselves that the interviewer may be more nervous and stressed out than they are, especially if he is not a seasoned HR professional and does not normally interview new candidates. The interviewer may not feel very comfortable assuming a role normally reserved for the HR department and may be more anxious than you are as a result. In this case you can shift your focus to alleviating the stress in the room and lightening the mood realizing you are both new to this role and that both sides will win by making the interview as smooth, fluid and informative as possible.

2.   Imagine yourself in the interviewer's shoes: It helps to remember when sitting in the interview spotlight that the interviewer himself is a busy man with deadlines, a job and a boss to report back to. By mentally envisioning the interviewer as a professional just like yourself who has taken time out of his busy routine to give you an opportunity to interview for the job, you can begin to empathize with the interviewer, relate to him and feel a sense of gratitude that you have made it as far as the interview stage. Remember, getting this far is already an accomplishment and the fact that the employer has given you such a generous block of time means they are interested in your profile, abilities and qualifications. Convince yourself that the difficult part is already over (providing you have not lied on your CV) and the interview itself is just a platform to build a rapport with the team and articulate in person what they already know from your CV. To take this a step further, you may want to put yourself in the employer's shoes - imagine you are in full control of the interview and the aim is to deliver to the employer all the answers he needs to sell you to the rest of the team clearly and succinctly. You can even go so far as to imagine that you already have the job and are just getting to know the interviewer as a professional colleague - this technique really works to alleviate the stress of the moment and reveal your real work persona and interpersonal skills.

3.   Know your subject matter: Your subject matter is primarily yourself and your professional achievements, interests, skills and qualifications, particularly as summarized on your CV and as they relate to this particular job. The interview is not the time to start racking your brain for the answer to "How long did you work for ABC Motors" or "When did you join DEF" - you should know your employment history and CV like the back of your hand and be able to explain or expound on any aspect of it immediately. Remember, you are the world's best expert on this subject matter and for the length of the interview you are completely in control of the subject matter, have an edge over the interviewer with this knowledge, and can deliver the relevant facts and figures with utmost confidence.

4.   Read interview books: Reading interview books will give you that extra self-confidence you need to appear calm at the interview and anticipate some of the more common questions. By eliminating most of the 'shock' value of the interview and feeling you are armed with answers to most questions that can come your way you will feel much more relaxed, comfortable and in control of the interview.

5.   Practice and prepare: Nothing beats practice and preparation for confidence building. While knowing yourself is the fundamental building block in the successful interview formula, knowing the job, the industry and the company come in a close second. Research these areas extensively so that the next time you are seated across from the interviewer you have a detailed knowledge of what it is they are looking for, how recent market events have shaped and influenced the company in specific and industry in general and what it is about your profile that is uniquely relevant to the job in question and can directly influence the bottom line. Once you can see yourself as a vital piece of the puzzle by virtue of the unique skills, attributes and value-added you bring to the specific role, you can tailor the answers to all interview questions accordingly. Practice your answers bearing in mind at all times what the employer is looking for based on your research activities, and keep repeating and fine-tuning your answers till you have perfected both the content and delivery. Ask some-one you trust to assume the role of the interviewer and aim to perfect the answers to all the common (and any anticipated uncommon) questions you are likely to come across in the interview.

6.   Don't dwell on your mistakes: Remind yourself that everyone is fallible and that should you stumble or falter with a particularly difficult question, you can quickly recover. The secret is not to make a big issue out of a bad or outright wrong answer but to quickly take stock of what went wrong, regain composure, take remedial action if possible then refocus and move on to the next question. Keep a professional front at all times and don't let yourself get mired in any interview traps or potentially harmful comments you may inadvertently have made. It helps immensely to remember that flexibility will win the day and that should you inadvertently slip, you have the wit and intelligence to make it up with well-rehearsed, honest, sincere, exemplary answers to other interview questions.

7.   Smile: Laughter is the closest distance between any two people and a good smile (a close relative to laughter) can melt many a concrete professional heart. Aside from endearing you to the interviewer, showing you are pleasant and breaking the ice, a polite smile will actually make you feel happier and will lift your spirits. Aim to smile as sincerely and as often as is possible during the interview and watch how your mood and temperament lighten up and the interview takes on a more positive light.

We at HCC wish you all the best in your interviews

Analysts Dim Trouble At Equity Bank Over CFO Position

The exit of Mr Oduor at Equity Bank makes the top finance job at Equity Bank the most volatile given the replacements that have happened in the position over the past three years.

Samson Oduor joined Equity last October as the CFO and gave his reason for quitting his lucrative job as having strategy difference with CEO James Mwangi.

Analysts have said that Equity Bank could struggle to hire a chief financial officer outside its ranks
following a high turnover of executives handling the job over the past two years.


The bank is expected to begin the search for its fifth CFO since 2010 after Samson Oduor left the lender in March. He had served for about six months.

The exit of Mr Oduor makes the top finance job at Equity Bank the most volatile. Before Mr Oduor, the finance docket was handled by Paul Njaga (2012), Edwin Mucai (2011) and Allan Mwangi (2010).

Being a Chief Finance Officer at Equity Bank must be one of the riskiest or hardest job.
