The report that was disclosed by the government has revealed the top 10 counties that hire on the basis of employees from their tribe.
National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) report dubbed Ethnic and Diversity Audit of the County Public Service, showed that those who had been employed in the most tribal counties were majorly native of the counties.
“By publishing this report, the commission has presented the country with policy recommendations to ensure ethnic equality and equitable distribution of opportunities in the county public service. If well implemented, this will enhance unity of purpose among Kenyans from all walks of life,” Francis Ole Kaparo said
