Have Kenyan universities become breeding grounds for ethnicity and nepotism!

While the National Cohesion and Integration Commission Chairman Francis Ole Kaparo is calling for a forum to discuss way forward over ethnicity in universities and other institutions of higher learning, University leadership has continuously promoted the vice in the name of promoting “local” beneficiaries.

However, in as much as the move could be noble, it is still unfortunate that the process has promoted tribalism and nepotism where the geographical position has led to a new political wave, a situation where politicians are in the process of bringing in “a sense of belonging.”
