Published on August 14, 2019, a report by the Kenya National Examination Council (Knec) has shed light on the ethnic composition of the agency's workforce.
The report, tabled in Parliament, shows that the four dominant ethnic groups control 65.04 percent of the jobs at Knec, despite making up less than half of the Kenyan population.
Under the diversity policy for State Ministries, Departments, and Agencies released in December 2015, ethnic groups whose job representation surpasses their corresponding national population proportion are considered over-represented.
The policy aimed to address the issue of over-representation by setting hiring quotas for ethnic groups and disadvantaged classes, including the disabled.
