Let Public service board in Counties consider all the 45 tribes

 Let Public service board in Counties consider all the 45 tribes

It is a reality that public service boards are now advertising for vacancies for various categories in all 47 counties. But the sad reality is that those shortlisted for various county jobs are the locals or the indigenous people. Universities are graduating students every year apart from those who finished the universities years back and are still looking for jobs and if counties are employing people on the basis of being a local,this is a sad reality. How many people have settled in counties in which they are not the indigenous? Should their children look for jobs from where they were born years ago? When will counties employ experts from other tribes?Most of those shortlisted come from the advertising counties. This is tribalism of the highest order and devolution is now in its second phase. Some Governors are nationalists who have fought for Kenya' s freedom and the names proposed for interviews betrays them. l have not seen a Hindu,lschamus,Nubia,makonde or a Sikh name proposed for an interview in the counties. Surely what went wrong? Some locals went to local secondary school, local university and are married locally,what wealth of experience will they provide to counties? That is why MCA's and executive are always going out of their counties for benchmarking. This adds expenses to the county's budget because those employed are not exposed. Let counties employ qualified personnel and not those who are necessary locals so that the youth  can get Jobs without discrimination. Let counties consider the 45 tribes when advertising for jobs and not worry that they will loose votes but eventually the county becomes cosmopolitan inviting everyone to stay and do business.
