Why does Jennifer Gitiri hold 8 jobs in the Kenyan Government? Are there no qualified Citizens?
Conundrum
In a country where there are millions of jobless university graduates, it seems rather silly that one person holds multiple jobs while others have none. Netizens have come out recently to complain about Ms Jennifer Gitiri who holds not 2 but a whole 8 full-time jobs for which she receives full-time salaries. How is this even possible?
It would appear she was a beneficiary of the former Uhuru led government and nobody noticed at that time that she had amassed all these jobs. Or perhaps, nobody cared. Suddenly everyone is talking about it.
Summary of Jobs Held:
Meet Jennifer Gitiri. She’s employed in more than 8 Government entities, earning a whooping Kshs 19.5M monthly
She is:
1. Acting CEO, Council of Legal Education.
2. Acting Secretary, Council of Legal Education
3. Deputy Director, Assets Recovery Agency(ARA).
4. Corporate Secretary, Assets Recovery Agency (ARA).
5. Board member, Kenya Law Reporting.
6. Board member, Kenya Revenue Authority.
7. Board member, Witness Protection Agency.
8. Board member, Victim Protection Agency.
9. Director, Living Water (private company).
Does Jennifer Gitiri really hold 8 jobs in a country where half of the population is not gainfully employed? Could it be true? Lawyer Soyinka Lempaa alerted us to this when he posted:
Now I have seen people complain about Jenifer Gitiri holding 8 government jobs. Those are few. She should even be the principal, Statehouse Girls and CEO Kbc!
Watu waache wivu. Hiyo ni favour ya mungu. Akisoma mlikuwa wap?? i. Akisema atakubariki hakuna atakaye zuia. If she is qualified why not??
It’s not about how good you work it is about how smart you work. Gitiri, watasema mchana usiku watalala!
It is true

A citizen said:
Huyu naye anaitwa Madam Jennifer Gitiri. Jennifer hana ubaya. Alikuwa anakaa tu, akapewa kazi ya (1)Acting CEO, Council of Legal Education.
Kidogo kidogo amerelax, akapewa (2)Acting Secretary. Kufumba na kufumbua macho, (3) Deputy Director wa Council of Legal Education. Before the ink was dry, she was slapped with another job as the (4) Corporate Secretary, Assets Recovery Agency
In addition to those, she is also a Board Member at (5) Kenya Revenue Authority, (6) Witness Protection Agency and (7) Victim Protection Agency.
Eeeeee maaaaa, mundu umwe?
She should team up with Mtaalam J.Mburu of Mukeu Herbal and Jambu TV. Such jack-of-all-trades are rare to find.
Well last we heard, Ms Jennifer Gitiri has now been sued for holding multiple public office jobs. Trust Kenyans to ruin a good thing.
