Report reveals five ethnic groups dominate over 70% of government jobs in Kenya

Five of Kenya’s largest ethnic communities continue to dominate government employment opportunities, holding more than more than 70 percent of all state corporations. A new report by the national cohesion and integration commission (NCIC) reveals that the Kikuyu, Kalenjin, Luo, Luhya, and Kamba communities control majority of senior government jobs, leaving little room for representation among other 38 ethnic groups. The commission warns that the growing ethnicity in public sector recruitment poses a serious threat to national unity and social cohesion
