Kenya Kwanza Government Is Manufacturing Poverty In Kenya, One Lay Off At A Time: Radio Africa Are The Current Victims

Unemployment is not just a statistic. It is a national security threat. It is a ticking time bomb. It is what turns frustrated graduates into digital scammers, desperate fathers into criminals, and disillusioned youth into cannon fodder for the next political cult. When a country like Kenya, already choking on inequality, corruption, and hopelessness, begins hemorrhaging jobs like a slaughtered goat, you don’t just lose livelihoods — you lose peace. You lose the social fabric. You lose the very essence of nationhood. And under the Kenya Kwanza government, that unraveling is happening in real-time, in high definition, with the volume turned up.

Take Radio Africa, for instance. A respected media house is now reduced to issuing termination letters drenched in corporate jargon, all in the name of “redundancy.” But let’s not be polite. Let’s call it what it is: a desperate response to a failed economy presided over by clueless men in suits who mistake empty sermons and punitive taxes for economic policy. These mass firings aren’t happening in a vacuum. They’re the inevitable result of entrusting national leadership to a brigade of economic toddlers playing Monopoly with real lives. Radio Africa’s layoff memo isn’t just a corporate decision; it’s a casualty report from the frontlines of a collapsing economy.

And while companies sink, State House remains busy launching wooden wheelbarrows and tweeting Bible verses. Jobs are being lost, industries are collapsing, but the government’s biggest concern seems to be building “hustler centres” that employ no one and solve nothing. What’s worse is that the people in charge genuinely believe they’re doing something groundbreaking. It’s like watching a drunk man try to fix a leaking roof with a Bible and a bucket of chicken. Useless, absurd, and painfully tragic.

The Kenya Kwanza administration has perfected the art of weaponizing incompetence. Their idea of economic recovery is to slap new taxes on a bleeding population. They’ve taxed bread, fuel, mobile money, salaries, airtime, and now they’re eyeing oxygen. Businesses that once stood as pillars of the economy are now on their knees, begging for breath, while government officials cruise past in fuel-guzzling convoys paid for by the same people being fired. There is no strategy, only suffering. No plan, only plunder. No leadership, just looting.

Corruption is not a side effect of this regime; it is the operating system. Billions disappear from the public coffers weekly, and instead of arresting thieves, they reshuffle them into new ministries. Meanwhile, legitimate businesses wait months — sometimes over a year — to be paid for services rendered to the same government. Do you know what that means? It means small businesses die. It means payrolls go unfunded. It means employees are laid off, dreams shattered, futures buried. And the regime just shrugs, offers a prayer, and flies to another summit.

As if that wasn’t enough, our education system keeps churning out thousands of bright, young Kenyans every year, most of whom are qualified for exactly nothing. Degrees with no skills, diplomas with no relevance, certifications in theories that expired with Moi’s last cabinet. These young people enter a job market that doesn’t exist anymore, and what do they find? Ghost opportunities and companies closing shop. Their only options? Online fraud, migration, depression, or worse, joining the government as the next crop of entitled looters.

And let’s not forget how technology is reshaping business faster than our lawmakers can say “social media tax.” TikTok, YouTube, and digital platforms have disrupted entire industries, pulling advertising revenue away from traditional media, redefining value chains, and democratizing content. But what is the Kenyan government doing about this transformation? Nothing. They’re too busy arresting comedians and influencers for speaking the truth, while the very digital revolution eats their last functional institutions.

If these mass layoffs continue — and they will — we’re heading into a full-scale socioeconomic meltdown. No economy can survive when the private sector is decimated, the public sector is bloated and inefficient, and the youth are jobless and angry. What happens when another 100 companies close? When the informal sector, the last refuge of the broke, starts collapsing too? When desperate, unemployed Kenyans turn to crime, violence, or radicalism to survive? Will we still be quoting scripture in the State House while the country burns?

The truth is, this is not just economic mismanagement — this is economic treason. The Kenya Kwanza regime has failed. Spectacularly. And no amount of PR, rebrands, “digital economy hubs,” or early-morning walks with foreign ambassadors will hide the stench of this failure. We are being governed by a cabal of greedy, lazy, and embarrassingly clueless men and women who should never have been trusted with managing a poultry farm, let alone a country.

So, as the termination letters continue to circulate, and another Kenyan family loses its only source of income, don’t let anyone lie to you. This is not just a “global economic crisis.” This is homegrown. Designed in Karen. Perfected in the State House. And paid for by you.

Welcome to the Redundancy Republic. Population: Millions. President: A man who thinks quoting the Bible will create jobs.
