Kenya: Bomet and Nyamira top the list of 30 counties that have failed to employ at least 30 per cent non-locals.

The revelations are contained in an ethnic audit report on all 47 counties done by the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC). Section 65 of County Governments Act requires county governments to ensure at least 30 per cent of public positions are filled by people not from the dominant ethnic community in the county.
