It is quite sad to note that tribalism still prevails even among the educated ones. They are these same elites who cannot rise above tribalism. Well, where did the rain start beating us?
In most institutions of higher learning in Kenya, there exists associations or student welfare associations as others call it, that claim to bring together students from the same locality or community in the name of strengthening culture of a given community. If one takes a walk in a given campus, from notice board to noticeboard, all that could be seen are notices that read “….MEMBERS OF THE ABOVE NAMED ASSOCIATION….” Which clearly show that our universities and colleges across the country, have been localized hence propagating for ethnicity making students to seek for safety in tribalism.
