Published on June 23, 2020, a viral post by Pauling Njoroge, a prominent Kikuyu communication specialist, highlighted the issue of ethnic profiling in government appointments.
Njoroge's post pointed out that certain government departments were being unfairly targeted, with only Kikuyu individuals being highlighted in senior positions, while officials from other communities were deliberately omitted.
She provided examples of various government ministries, including the State House, Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Defense, and others, where Kikuyu individuals held senior positions, while officials from other communities were overlooked.
The post sparked a heated debate, with many calling for an end to ethnic profiling in government appointments.
As the conversation continues, it remains to be seen whether the government will take steps to address the issue and promote a more inclusive and fair hiring process.
