The problem is these people have no shame at all at all…. Because if they would, then they wouldn’t be shooting themselves right on the foot and keeping a straight face

Very comical that the former Google Sub-Sahara Africa Lead, Joe Mucheru doesn’t google the names of people before he appoints them.
