‘We Are Still In Ethnic Enclaves,’ NCIC Commissioner Makori Says On Dominance Of 10 Tribes In County Jobs

The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) Commissioner Danvas Makori has emphasized the need to address the concentration of County Government jobs within 10 tribes, comprising 80 per cent of jobs across Kenya’s 47 counties.

Makori expressed concern that the country seems to be reverting to ethnic divisions, as highlighted in the recently launched second edition of the Ethnic and Diversity Audit of the County Public Service.

“This report shows that we are still ethnic enclaves. We have regions whereby they were not invested in. In counties where we have ethnic groups, we have minorities marginalized in terms of development where they don’t feel part of it and it fuels conflict for a large part,” Makori said.
