NAIROBI, KENYA: The new chairman of National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC), Mr Francis Ole Kaparo, is faced with the challenge of succeeding where Mzalendo Kibunjia failed.

Kaparo and other new NCIC commissioners take office at a time the country is getting polarised by hardened position on referendum proposals by some governors and the Opposition, and pockets of clashes in some regions.
