Subject: Re: The lid is off


Dear Mr Gitahi.
This is a letter from the staff of the Editorial
Department and it ' s a follow up to another letter we
sent you in December highlighting teething problems
facing our department.

We are pleased to inform you that we are pleased with
the steps you have taken so far to address the
problems in the Editorial Department and in the larger
NMG. From our own observation of the manner you have
gone about your business, we now know we have a CEO
who has the interest of the NMG and its staff at
heart.

In our December letter, we have told you that we would
wait until end of January to see if there were going
to be any meaningful changes and reforms carried out
by your administration. We have reliably been informed
that a radical surgery is in the offing and your
dreams are to see the right staff on the NMG bus. We
are committed to support all your resolve to offload
the excess and unproductive passengers from the NMG
bus.

We, too, don ' t want joy riders and blood suckers who
live on other people ' s sweat. We would prefer leaner
and a productive staff who are rewarded according to
their performance.

However, we are disturbed that, whereas you mean well
for the Editorial Department, you have taken the wrong
path in picking the team of managers to select the
staff to be offloaded from the NMG bus. We understand
the editorial team comprise of the Editorial Director,
Mr Wangethi Mwangi , the Group Managing Editor, Mr
Joseph Odindo, and the Group HR Director, Ms Hellen
Mbugua.

The three managers, and to a large extent Mr Mwangi
and Mr Odindo, are the source of the problems
bedeviling the Editorial Department and we gave you
the reasons in our December letter. Since we
understand the exercise for identifying the staff to
be offloaded, transferred and promoted is complete, we
decided to bring our heads together and decide the way
forward. Journalists from Nairobi and representatives
from all the bureaus held a meeting at a venue and
date we will not disclose and came up with a resolve
to write to you again and communicate what was
deliberated.

Mr Wangethi and Mr Odindo should be nowhere near any
meeting where any reforms and changes in the Editorial
Dept are being carried out. The two should have been
the first casualty of your Administration ' s reforms.
Just like President Kibaki put his foot in the mouth
by retaining Kanu ' s civil servants intact, we
believe you have squandered a good opportunity to
clean up the mess in the Editorial Dept by appointing
the Mr Mwangi and Mr Odindo to spearhead the reforms.


We demand that the exercise of laying off unproductive
staff must be transparent and target the
non-performers. Mr Mwangi and Mr Odindo may use the
exercise to get rid of good staffers they don ' t
like. In our December letter, we listed the joy-riders
and the multiple posts which were purposely created by
Mr Mwangi and Mr Odindo to reward their friends and
girlfriends. We demand that the posts be abolished and
all the busy body bosses be the first to be shown the
door. Mr Mwangi and Mr Odindo filled the newsroom with
their girlfriends and friends poached from other media
houses, yet they are unproductive and can hardly write
any literate story. These too must be offloaded from
the NMG bus. We want to know why none of the women who
have extended sexual favours to both Mr Mwangi and Mr
Odindo have been spared the axe. Adhiambo Odera, who
was employed directly to the position of the Editor
after a sexual encounter in Malindi with Mr Mwangi is
one of those women who have been spared yet her work
is good mastery of illiteracy. She can ' t write or
edit any story. Editing of Buzz magazine is done by
correspondents. But she can ' t be touched because
both Mr Mwangi and Mr Odindo share her as lovers and
they fear she can expose them. It ' s the same case
for many other women. Mr Mwangi and Mr Odindo, your
wives will be hearing from us very soon.


We had informed you and listed sections which are
headed by managers who are non-university graduates.
Examples are the News Desk, where we have four
editors, and only one is a graduate. The Form Six
graduates were put there deliberately by Mr Wangethi
for his own selfish reasons so that they can dance to
his tune. We can ' t have reporters who have
university degrees and masters reporting to Form Six
managers! They too must leave or be demoted and given
their rightful places like the copy-taking desk.


The House that his Highness the Aga Khan built has
been into a brothel by top managers. Mr Wangethi, Mr
Odindo and Mr Nabutolla have one thing in common ?
they take the golden cup for their ability of
quenching their sexual lust using NMG female
employees. The prime factor and criteria for
promotions and hiring of female reporters and editors
has been their sexual performance. This is something
the Aga Khan and the entire world have never known.
This is something we are going to expose and bring it
to the attention of the Aga Khan and the world. In our
December letter, we listed just a fraction of the
female staff who have been rewarded with plum jobs and
promotions after satisfying the sexual lust of Mr
Mwangi and Mr Odindo. How then can the same sex
perverts be the ones spearheading the laying off of
unwanted staff? We hope you had time to make your own
independent investigations to verify the insight we
gave you on the string of women who have been promoted
or hired by the two managers based on their sexual
performance.


Finally, we give both Mr Wangethi and Mr Odindo up to
end of February to resign from NMG or we smoke them
out. We have laid a water-tight strategy to do so. We
have various options to do so if you don ' t force
them to resign or their conscience doesn ' t drive
them to doing so.


Among the strategies we have are exposing the shame of
NMG being a brothel in all parts of Kenya, Nairobi
being the main focus, presenting the spouses of Mr
Wangethi and Mr Odindo and the women they have been
sleeping with with evidence, and writing to the Aga
Khan and informing how his House has been turned into
a brothel by the managers he has employed to manage
his affairs. We have the contacts of all their spouses
and they will hear from us very soon. We will also
circulate pamphlets on the streets detailing who
sleeps with who in NMG. Other strategies remain our
secret and it ' s up to you to decide if you want the
vibrant company you inherited from Mr Kiboro to sink
under your watch. Things will start rolling very fast
from March 1 if our demands are not met. But we will
support you if we are satisfied with the reforms and
the departure of Mr Mwangi and Mr Odindo.

Ms Hellen Mbugua, we also have a dose for you. Your
husband will also be hearing from us on your sex
escapades with KBC MD. We have water-tight dossier on
you.

We can ' t sit back and allow immorality to continue
thriving in NMG. NMG will explode and the rot which
has been perpetuated by top managers will soon be in
public domain. We can ' t be exposing the likes of
Bishop Margaret Wanjiru and Sam uel Gichuru yet we
have managers and other staff who are worse rotten. We
are putting on notice Mr Mwangi , Mr Odindo and the
other managers who have found it difficult to keep
their zips tightly shut that sex scandals and the sex
tree of who sleeps with who in Editorial and other
departments will be public knowledge soon. They should
start preparing their spouses psychologically. Watch
this space!

NMG prides itself as a successful company, a market
leader and a mirror of the society. We must set the
example by actions and deeds. Managers can ' t preach
water and drink wine. The hour of reckoning has come.
The lid has been blown off internally and soon the
world will be reading about the brothel that is Nation
Centre.

We wish you luck!
