There is increasing global evidence that productivity at ... view

Adverse working conditions that involve poor communication and management practices, low autonomy, effort-reward imbalance, unclear tasks or organizational objectives, occupational uncertainty and lack of value and respect in the work place are particularly associated with mental health problems. Mr. Speaker, Sir, despite the massive economic cost of mental illness, African countries historically under-invested in mental health.

• 23 Feb 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the proposed film policy in question will help build Kenya‟s brand, increase economic growth and promote heritage. Also, the framework will develop national culture, promote integration, national cohesion and tourism. Madam Temporary Speaker, the film industry will succeed when the policies made by the Government support filmmakers.

Kenya, with its robust population, can pick a few lessons from Nigeria ... view
