(C&P)I don't condone discrimination but for this issue it's a matter of probability and statistics High school math. if you have 10 balls 7 Red, 2 Blue , 1 Yellow. What is the probability of getting a Red ball = 7/10 = 70%. The same applies to jobs. The bigger tribes send more applications and hence have higher success rates. Remember as much as equality is important, merit and quality should not be compromised. If the dorobo churn out 1 lawyer per year and they get 1 lawyer working at the CJ's or Ag's office, how & why else would you blame personalities? Its the govt job to improve and evenly distribute resouces like schools/colleges/universities in all counties/districts etc

Kibunjia's report may appear simplistic but that is because facts were distorted or some important facts were left out. We should look within ourselves and realise that tribalism is a big monster that needs to be sorted out. If you check parastatals or public companies where the government has influence e.g KPLC, KCB, KRA, CBK, KPC, NOCK you will realise that most staff are either Kalenjin or kikuyu. In 2002 these were full of kalenjins but now replaced by kikuyus.We may say we have 'qualified' guys, but is it fair? It is scary that the next president will also replace them with his tribe. As all these go on, many people suffer: those who loose jobs due to change of guard, those denied jobs due to tribalism and those treated as second class citizens. Try visit KRA and you will be surprised at the official language of communication, go to sheria house, go to prime minister's office. Notice that some portfolio are for 'homeboys' security, treasury, public health.
All our ministers are guilty of tribalism as they all employ their tribesmen as directors and CEOs in parastatals in their ministries. We are going to the dogs as we watch. let us not hide behind qualified big tribes.. Not all these guys have the best qualifications. Some even go to dodgy community collegesand polytechnics overseas and return as US /UK trained while they have no experience.
If Kibunjia gave a break down of specific ministries and their chief officers we will be ashamed, from DCs, chief accountants, treasury chiefs, parastal directors in each ministry.
When Kosgei had his Kinsman as a MD of KEBS, we suddenly realised it was tribalism yet when Kimunya, Ngilu, Kibaki or Annyang Nyongo does it we make no fuss.

....for now it is very convenient to dismiss kibunja, deep down we are suffering from thid disease called tribalism!!!!!

Perspective: Summary of applicants of DPP

Ethnicity.........Number of Applicants

kikuyu/embu(1)...11 (36%)
luo...............8 (26%)
kisii.............6 (20%)
kamba.............2 (6%)
kalenjin..........1 (3%)
luhya.............1 (3%)
maasai............1 (3%)

3 communities represent 80% of applicants.

I thinks he's trying to bring to everyone's attention that the constitution had certain thresholds for the number of employees from the same region/ ethnic group.

And as such the relevant government departments and ministries should start rectifying the anomaly, not immediately of course but in due course as they recruit Kenyan to fill their vacancies.(affirmative action it would seem)

Kibunja's report is just another alarmist ploy to justify his position. I have checked last years Census report. Using Kibunja's report, the big six tribes occupy 74% of public sector jobs. Last years census puts the big six tribes at a total population of 27.3 million. The total population was 38.6 million. There are about 1.2 million foriegners in the country (Refugee population included). This puts the % of the big tribes in the country at 73%. Where is the bias? Have we even looked at population dynamics and the percentages using the working class age group among the tribes? Proximity from where people stay and work place also counts in a big way for who will work where for the low paing jobs.

Kibunja give us a break. You do not know what you are doing.

For carrying out this discussion maturely I applaud you wazuans

Kibunjia's numbers though shallow should not be ignored totally. Kenya has been dominated by the big tribes who were favoured by the British in education and jobs. Thus we should have better facilities even in marginalised areas. But let's face it. It will be hard. Most people in those areas live comfortable lives and hate this mzungu civilisation that erodes their culure.

As usual, if you don’t like the message, you shoot the messenger.
What Kibunja et al have done is a piece of data analysis that is done the world over. As an example in the West, you’ll stats on the number of women who are in the boardrooms of the FTSE 100 companies; the number of negroes sweeping the floors in the big banks or eating porridge; the number of Chinese teenagers who A in math. It’s done to inform government policy and inform debate on how society needs to change.
I am also pretty sure that this is part of the NCIC’s remit. To get Kenyans to look at themselves in the mirror and get rid of ze ugly patches.
You the Kenyan needs to start looking at how you can come up with solutions. If you own a business, do you post vacancies externally or ask among your pals?

Can Kibujia conduct a census of the team that was at the Olympics or the Last World Athletics Championship? It may have been very tribal.

While at it can he do a census of the Rugby sevens squad, and of Harambee stars (who i cheered like a possessed man when the whooped Angola), I now realise they may have been biased.

Next time we really need to balance the tribes in those squads.
