Some tribes in Kenya are over represented while others are underrepresented

The report by the public service commission that some tribes in Kenya are over represented while others are underrepresented didn’t catch me with a surprise. This is a revelation that tribalism is alive and well in Kenya. The claim by the present government that it has ensured equity in its appointments appears to only be a mere pronouncement which doesn’t exist beyond our lips.

As Kenya seeks realization of 2030 vision it should ensure that there is equity in all government offices. It will be of no use if few tribes especially those in power are the one on threshold. Those left out will be on the losing end as they will not be part of it. Who will channel the ideas of underrepresented tribes? Will those overrepresented tribes handle the minority well?
