I Worked as a Sweeper in the US for Nine Years, Kenyan Media Mogul S.K. Macharia Says

Only in Kenya people think that sweeping and other manual jobs is below their standard. In western countries many students work in fast food restaurants or clean the doom.

Working as sweeper in Kenya you earn 3000 a month and get mistreated but in US you earn 800 an hour and theres an aspect of people respecting your job. Thats why no one wants to do manual labor in Kenya.

Hongera sana! Ndugu Macharia kwa kutuambia jinsi ulivyofanya kazi kwa bidii ulipokuwa ukisomea shahada yako ya kwanza katika nchi ya Marekani mpaka ukahitimu masomo yako. Hongera tena ndugu.

Ningependa kutoa azimio ya kwamba, kiongozi yeyote aliyechaguliwa na wananchi ili awahudumie na kuwasahau ili aendeleze masomo yake huku akitumia nguvu za kazi aliyopewa baada ya kuchaguliwa, shahada yake isitambuliwe na taasisi yoyote duniani. Mtu yeyote anayetumia saa ya mwananchi kujiinua kimasomo na kimaisha, yeye ni tapeli na pia mwizi.

Sijamuona mtu yeyote Marekani aliyechaguliwa na kuendelea na masomo yake chuoni akitumia mali ya umma kwa manufaa yake mwenyewe. Kwa nini turuhusu utapeli kama huu nchini mwetu? Ninavyosema kwa kifupi ni kuwa kama ukipata digrii yako ukiwa mtumishi aliyechaguliwa, digrii yako isitambulikane mahali popote duniani.

Maliza masomo yako kwanza kabla hujachaguliwa au endelea na masomo yako baada ya kumaliza wakati wako bungeni. Jamani! tumechoka na ufisadi kila mahali na kila wakati kutokana na watu tuliowachagua watuhudumie (to serve us) baada ya kuchaguliwa.

There’s nothing wrong with menial jobs. Tulisomeshwa na pesa za kuvunia wazungu kahawa. Whomever thinks such jobs are bemeaning, let him come to the US and taste what some people do here. Wacha pride.

Hey Mr macharia tell themso they can hear.Worked as a sweeper but invested back home n when u returned u continued to invest n that's why ur where ur today??Many diasporas continues sweeping/cleaning asses either as a nurse RN or cna n remaining there til 70/80 years old even if in majuu it pays good but if u don't invest it remains a job just to pay yr bills buy food n nothing else..I know kuna watu same year 1962 who went to study with mr macharia n n decided to remain back in states n today they r still sweeping or doing other paying jobs but hawana chochote comparing with macharia who returned n have made fortune n he continues investing helping in communities.

REGINALD MENGI:

Jirani yetu kutoka nchi ya Tanzania naye anatueleza kama alivyofanya kazi kwa bidii kama Ndugu Macharia na kuwa bilionea. Oh! Maskini, Reginald mengi aliaga dunia tarehe 2 Mwezi huu, mwaka huu (2019). Hebu msikilize akihojiwa na Mwandishi wa habari Ndugu Jeff Koinange akiwa huko Dar Es Salaam.

@mkenyaHalisi, why are you so bitter? I suspect you got deported from the states. Whatever people do is their biz. You seem to have lots of time to come here and criticize people who don’t give a F about your existence, chill.

What my friend Mkenya halisi is saying is you can never create wealth in majuu.. but in this world we all have different goals and ambitions. Majuu only gives you a lifestyle which most ni madeni and once you don't have a job, you are simply nothing.

After graduating & prospering in royal media service,he decided to join politics & in 2015 he faithfully financed & backed baba & it turned out to be a very good venture as he reaped much more than had invested! Masha,you are the best!

Generally all students abroad will do odd jobs to make ends meet and for extra cash. But Mr Macharia has tried with go-getter never-say-die attitute

@guest007 thank you for getting my points??While many calls me names ati deportee/majuu hater which am not n i feel for them juu hawataki kuambiwa ukweli wa hizi nchi wanaita mbinguni/heaven?I have always said majuu is good if u put yr mind in order but many work so hard like donkeys for manangement years to own or have something yours like a house.But if u take yr time n invest home within 5/10 years i will have tangible things which will make u enjoy yr retirement earlier n way way beta than this majuu maheaven false falasies..
