Racial job advert angers Kenyans

A controversial advertisement appearing in the Daily Nation has caused an uproar. This is after it stipulated that job applicants applying for the position of Sales Executive must be of Asian origin while those applying for the position of Store Keeper must be Kenyan.

Racial Job Advert

The hiring company billed itself as a leading IT retail company based in Nairobi.

Anger by the racial requirements that appeared to suggest Kenyans aren’t qualified enough to head a sales department, Kenyans took to social media to express their anger at the company and at the Daily Nation for running the advert.

No newspaper should carry such trash in the 21st Century in Kenya,” said Ngari Gituku on his Facebook wall.

The racial advertisement was published on July 28 in the Daily Nation.
