Developed countries have moved towards performance-based employment because let's be honest, you use less than 1% of the knowledge you learn in getting credentials. At the end of the day, its all about your performance out on the battlefield. Future studies should measure the performance of civil service, before coming out with useless pang'ang'a about tribe or qualifications. If the civil service is found to be performing its duties well, I don't care if it consists of 100% Kikuyu Standard 8 dropouts, kazi iendelee!
True.....very true @Kenyan, I thought education is supposed to bridge the gap in poverty alleviation and to give the less disadvantaged an opportunity to realise their potential, hence the relevance of credentials.At the end of the day a knowledge based economy is more likely to thrive than a resource based one, (look at the Asian tigers), performance will still be realised but at a more conscious approach, will yield far much results.
We still have to invest in education to reward those who pursue it to the highest level, not reward/sanction someone because of his ethnic background.
