When Daniel Mwangi received his promotion letter, it marked the peak of a career built on patience, diligence, and quiet perseverance.
After twelve years as a junior records officer in a government department in Nairobi, he had finally been elevated to senior administrative supervisor — a position that promised better pay, influence, and long-awaited respect from colleagues and family alike.
The celebration lasted only a few days.
