Is there an empirical method of measuring the level tribalism?

What parameters does one use?

The most empirical method of measuring tribalism is when the policy organs of key parastatals in the energy,transportation,security and economic sectors are headed by his loyal tribesmen however qualified they are.

Looking at things in another perspective, a proper measure of tribalism is neither here nor there; e.g. the government of a certain far east country was offering scholarships (on merit) to students from developing countries including Kenya…following a vigorous screening procedure, a number of successful candidates were awarded scholarships to pursue Masters and PhDs. Awardees from Kenya were; 60% Kiuks, 25% Luos and 15% others….. So would one say that the concerned foreign gov. was biased? How would you expect a Karamojong to be in that list while none applied? This example is unfortunately being replicated in very many other fields…..It is thus a mirage to expect tribal balance in the near future

This precisely the situation facing public universities. A university will open a campus in, say, Kisii County and then advertise the senior positions. In almost all cases, only Kisiis will apply for those positions and therefore the top management of the campus will be dominated by that tribe.

Then Mzalendo Kibunja accuses the universities of tribalism! You cannot force people to take positions they are not interested in.

I have seen this happening in three campuses of three different universities.

Tribalist!!! he killed the 2002 spirit...and anyone who would have taken the job after Mo1 would have done a great job, whether Kibaki or anyone else.

We recognize him for being president when Frankiln Bett (ODM) made the roads...sadly expanding significantly roads leading to Central Kenya...
