The Government will soon start hiring Information Communication Technology (ICT) graduates for the Presidential Digital Talent Programme (PDTP).

The programme which is an initiative of the ICT Ministry and implemented by the ICT Authority will provide a one-year internship to young ICT graduates as management trainees in Government. It is intended to help the State meet increased demand for ICT staff while ensuring the trainees gain experience to gainful employment upon completion of the internship.

“The Presidential Digital Talent Programme is as well envisioned as a means of building the next generation of globally competitive ICT leadership and technology talent that will transform Kenya through the world class service delivery to the citizenry,” reads an advert from the ministry.

This follows the Government’s move, through ICT Ministry, to seek expression of interest for a firm to carry out a human resource consultancy for the recruitment of ICT graduates for the Presidential Digital Talent Programme.

“The main objective of the assignment is assist the ministry in identifying suitable ICT graduates in for the PDTP programme in the most transparent, cost effective and efficient method based on established selection criteria for the programme,” reads the advert in part.

Under the programme, the selected firm will be required to advertise for the positions in different channels of communication including on social media and popular job hunting websites – mostly online.

It will also conduct initial screening of applicants against defined selection criteria using web based techniques, provide a merit based shortlist of qualified candidates as well as carry out reference checks and verification of qualifications of the shortlisted candidates.

The winner will also be required to conduct in-depth interviews of the shortlisted candidates based on approved criteria for selection and provide a merit list of successful candidates. According to the brief, the assignment should take not more than six weeks.

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

By Strive Masiyiwa  A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Mr. Riley was already there when they arrived, sitting on the sand, eyes closed in a deep meditation. He was shirtless, wearing camouflage-patterned shorts similar to the ones The Spellbinder styled the day he appeared on the beach and a pair of rubber diving booties with smiley face emojis scattered over them. You would have been more than amused if you saw him in them. An assistant rushed out of the billionaire’s home the instant he raised a hand toward the heavens, displaying the universal victory sign. Three crisp pages of paper were effic...

THE CROWN YOU CARRY: A Letter to My LOVELY Daughter FROM THE HEART OF A MOTHER

My Dearest Daughter, As the sun rises over the hills of Limuru, casting golden rays upon the dew-kissed tea leaves, my heart swells with pride, hope, and the wisdom only a mother can carry. You, my beautiful girl, are in school, and while the world sees a student in uniform, I see a queen in the making. I see the grace of your grandmother, the fire of your ancestors, and the promise of a bright African dawn glowing in your eyes. This Easter, God granted me the sweet joy of bonding with you—not just as a mother—but as a woman who has walked a little further on this winding road of life. You may not know it yet, but in those laughter-filled mornings and quiet evening chats, a legacy was passed on: not of gold or silver, but of values, vision, and virtue. Let me speak to your soul now, daughter of mine. Listen with your spirit. In this life, my sweet child, “a child who does not listen to the mother’s advice will sleep with the flies” — a Ghanaian proverb as old as wisdom itself. The worl...
