GOD SAVE KENYA: OUT OF 373, 361 ARE OF SAME GENE

[phil]

That is Office of the President.

A catastrophe. A terrible injustice. A blatant rape. An outright violation of the law.

Wow! Am lost for words.

www.standardmedia.co.ke/InsidePage.php?id=2000032707&cid=4&ttl=Report%20shows%20OP%20and%20PM%20offices%20under%20grip%20of%20tribe

And this is the time bomb which aborted in 2007.

[sunday]

Not new news, at least for me. We (most of us) knew this all along. Kibaki and his kikuyu mafias who surrounds him raped this country in 2003.

And this is the time bomb which aborted in 2007.

This is a travesty of unimaginable proportions. In the Office of the President, 361 out of 373 employees (a staggering 97%) are Gikuyu.


In contrast, the Prime Minister's Office has 21.85% Luo and 21.18% Gikuyu.


These are the details we demanded and it looks like they are earth shattering.

[toddo]

PM, job, sunday and others,

I could not believe the stats and the names. perhaps a little tribalism here and there is what I thought we were experiencing in 2011 but to see the stats really makes me sick to the stomach.

Ok, I have said this to my friends everywhere I go:

1. Belonging to a tribe and being proud of who you are is not a crime. You had no choice in where you were born so that is a fact. If you are in a tribal sensitive area you should use discretion on how you prowl your pride.

2. Using your tribe as a card to get favors is wrong - especially if you are aware that others better than you (intellectually, through training and experience) should have been in the same position.

3. Using your tribesmen/women to protect you and entrench tribalism in a country like ours is criminal. In some countries like Canada, the constitution ensures that government institutions MUST hire people of visible minority and women to promote equality. It is high time we looked at ensuring the new constitution is implemented in a similar manner.

4. I have no problem with people who are hired in their positions based purely on merit. in fact, I noticed a few names on that list that I am personally acquainted with - They are men and women of integrity but unfortunately the politics of the day will sweep all their goodness away

5. On the same note, I also think that the PM's office should have done a bit better. - especially with regard to people who are the face of his office such as Caroli Omondi. I think the PM should reconsider it. In politics it is a ll about perception. And this goes to the ODM faces too. I know it is still a bit too early for 2012 elections, but if the current loyalists in ODM remain the same, it will be hard to convince Kenyans about the national - ness of ODM . I am aware that there are many ODMers who are not from Western Kenyam but the public does not see them as much. Public relations means limiting some appearances unless completely warranted. I know this last point has been discussed in some thread but it does relate to how the public perceives tribalism. tribalism must be fought from within and without - And it must be done and also seen to be done.

My sentiments exactly. It is so wrong. They didn't even try to pretend. Whatever. Payback time. Time to make things right. Good this is all being exposed for what it is. It's like living with white folks and you know and so do they that they have these built-in advantages just because of the colour of their skin. in this case the ethnicity of a person and whole peoples.

[kamalet]

Many of you will mourn and curse about all these appointments. But the reality is that in most public service jobs, the PSC will rarely look at the ethnicity of an applicant but the qualifications first then gender. Every quarter, the PSC publishes a list of all the appointments and promotions that it has made.

Here is a sample:

There is now a legal requirement not to exceed one third

[palaver]

I wonder what kind of qualifications psc looked at in state house to hire messengers,cooks and cleaners that they specifically found in 1 tribe out of the 42.
The new constitution will surely keep alot of status quo groupies in check

[nowayhaha]

This particular statistic was just too much for me as a Kenyan. This one does not just need its own thread, but I think OO needs to sticky this one until Kenyans go the elections! What the hell.

Does the Head of State really sleep soundly being fully aware of such injustices against the people he purports to lead?

[destiny]

Talk about being marginalized! No one seems to remember we have Kenyan Somalis who are the fourth largest tribe according to the last census. Before we go bonkers over this and that tribe, we must not forget we have women and the disabled who are heavily discriminated upon. Having said that, this mind boggling statistic of Kibaki's office having 97% of it's employees coming from the Agikuyu even beats Moi's record by far. Just who are the other 3% in that office? Possibly Merus, Embus and Mbeeres. You can bet the same tribe makes 101% of employees in State House. Kibaki ought to read those statistics and hand his head down in shame. Under his watch tribalism has gone up more than during Moi's despotic reign- also not forgetting corruption, impunity, drug dealing et all!

Kamale,

Are you saying that Kenyans from the other communities generally lack the qualifications to serve at the OP? What precisely is this disqualifying qualification that renders the services of close to 80% of the Kenyan population suboptimal to service at the OP? Do you really believe that the PSC looked all over Kenya and found only these people qualified enough to serve? How were they recruited? What criteria guided the decision to employ these persons? Was the process open and competitive? Do you have access to the minutes of the job interviews? The crux of this matter rests in this question: Is the PSC, as presently constituted, competent to assess the competence of others?
As far as I am concerned, if the recruitment process is fair, open and competitive, and those recruited are accountable to Kenya and not a community then we are on dry land, otherwise we are lost at sea.

I think you misdirect your questions...I cannot give you those answers. All I did was point you to a level of transparency that is currently in practice of how the PSC lets everyone know whom they have appointed.

You should have by now known that I could not careless what your mother tongue is if you have a job and are doing it right. If you look at the list, the three appointees in the PM's office are of his community - but they are personal level staff to him which means they are qualified to serve him. Now tell me why anyone should have a problem with the three just because they are Luos. I don't!

www.nation.co.ke/News/State+House+blames+ministries+over+public+jobs/-/1056/1140538/-/9xcnduz/-/index.html

State House has said it is not directly responsible for the skewed nature of employees at the seat of the presidency.

Instead, it blamed line ministries for seconding staff and said it is not involved the direct recruitment directly.

"For public information we wish to point out that State House employees are ordinarily seconded from relevant ministries depending on the requirements of the department at any one time.

"The secondments are flexible and are determined by the technical and other professional requirements of the State Houses or Lodges located in various parts of the country, " said statement signed by State House Comptroller Nelson Githinji.

State House said it had taken cognisance of the issue raised by the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) and said it relevant ministries should take remedial action.

"We have, however, taken cognizance of the report by NCIC and will be requesting the relevant Ministries to be more sensitive to ethnic balances in all future secondments to State House."

"We also wish to inform the public that the policy of State House is under the general principles of Employment Act 2007 which states that “No employer shall discriminate directly against an employee on the grounds of race/ethnicity, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other option”.

On Wednesday, a survey undertaken by the NCIC gave shocking details of how political patronage and personality-based leadership had reduced the civil service into an exclusive club of the big communities at the expense of the so called small communities.

According to the survey, members of the Kikuyu, Kalenjin, Luhya, Kamba and Luo communities occupy 70 per cent of all jobs in the civil service.

The Kikuyu lead the pack with 22.3 per cent of all civil service jobs, followed by the Kalenjin (16.7 per cent), Luhya (11.3 per cent), Kamba (9.7 per cent), Luo (9.0 per cent) and Kisii (6.8 per cent).

State House has said it is not directly responsible for the skewed nature of employees at the seat of the presidency.

Instead, it blamed line ministries for seconding staff and said it is not involved the direct recruitment directly.

"For public information we wish to point out that State House employees are ordinarily seconded from relevant ministries depending on the requirements of the department at any one time.

"The secondments are flexible and are determined by the technical and other professional requirements of the State Houses or Lodges located in various parts of the country, " said statement signed by State House Comptroller Nelson Githinji.

State House said it had taken cognisance of the issue raised by the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) and said it relevant ministries should take remedial action.

"We have, however, taken cognizance of the report by NCIC and will be requesting the relevant Ministries to be more sensitive to ethnic balances in all future secondments to State House."

"We also wish to inform the public that the policy of State House is under the general principles of Employment Act 2007 which states that “No employer shall discriminate directly against an employee on the grounds of race/ethnicity, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other option”.

This is rubbish.

State House houses the Head of State and Head of Government, an office which has enormous resources at its disposal to be able to manage public affairs in a transparent, fair, non-discriminatory and balance manner.

It did not need Mr Kibunja to point out these facts since Kenyans have been complaining, even here in Jukwaa since 2005 about the blantant tribalism and nepotism by Kibaki government.

The fact of the matter is that by its very nature, the OP is duty bound to be the most balanced of all public institution in terms of employing the marginalised and it is a great shame that it is the most skewed of them all.

President Kibaki should be ashamed of himself. Even Moi and Kenyatta in their peak, never went this far!!!!
