The Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) is on the spot after it emerged that two ethnic communities – Kikuyu and Kalenjin – occupy nearly half of jobs at the State corporation, highlighting inequality in access to public sector employment among Kenya’s 43 communities.
A report submitted to the National Assembly Committee on National Cohesion and Equal Opportunity shows that the two communities account for 44.3 percent (1,080) of the company’s 2,437 employees. KenGen is majority owned by the National Treasury.
