Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>COTU Secretary General Francis Atwoli on Friday, July 9, surprised a job seeker by paying his entire college school fees.<\/p>\n

Lekorei Maiyai had reached out to the COTU secretary general on Twitter in June and asked him for a job opportunity.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old narrated that he had attained a C plain in his Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) but could not go to Collage due to lack of school fees.<\/p>\n

“Hello sir. I’m Maiyani a Maasai boy from Nanyuki. I’m 25 years and I come from a humble background…I finished my KCSE in 2015 and attained a C plain. Kindly help me get a job opportunity so that I can help my parents,” Maiyai pleased.<\/p>\n

Following the message, the trade unionist vowed to get back to Maiyani once he was back in the country and he kept true to his word.<\/p>\n

Maiyani will now be joining Sensei Institute of Technology for Plant Operator Training aswell as an additional course in driving.<\/p>\n

“As promised, I have ensured that Maiyani joins school to secure his future and that of his family. On Monday, he will be starting a new course.”<\/p>\n

Maiyai could not hide his joy and expressed his gratitude for the kind gesture.<\/p>\n

“Thank you so much sir. I’m very happy. Thanks for making a turning point in my life. I wish you success always. God will continue blessing you more. I will never forget this.”<\/p>\n

Over the years, the unemployment rate in the country has led Kenyans to use extreme measures to get heard by the Kenyan elite, who might be in a position to offer them jobs.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, some miss the opportunity due to their way of asking.<\/p>\n

The late entrepreneur Chris Kirubi and Safaricom CEO Bob Collymore once told off job seekers on Twitter for lack of appropriate communication skills and etiquette.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
