Check out the dailies and you will see that Lumumba and his "mbois" have been working overtime trying to rid Kenya of corruption. Now, lets be fearless and frank. The Kenyan marketing and advertising industry is filled with rumors on some really shady deals that are pulled everyday. Some of these may be pure speculation, some of these may be true.
Since this is quite the sensitive topic and I do not fancy myself being stabbed with a paper clip, let me just merely share where some of us have made ourselves pretty good bucks under the guise of our daily jobs:
- Agencies giving clients kitu kidogo to win pitches.
- Clients asking research companies for kitu kidogo to assure research contracts.
- Production Managers arm twisting printers so they are assured of printing jobs.
- Agency producers collaborating with production houses and inflating estimates and splitting the gains.
- Creatives and casting agents getting into kitu kidogo partnerships.
- Media executives asking Media Owners for large gifts in order to secure business.
Now, I am sure the list goes on and on and you are welcome to enlighten me on some aspects that I might have missed out on.
So brethren, next time you think that only politicians get good opportunities to eat something, think again. Corruption is indeed a disease and some of us are truly infected.
But hey, that's just my opinion.
