  • Kenya’s universities and counties should not have ethnic names

    Maurice N. Amutabi | Governance
    09.03.2017

    Government statistics show that Kenya’s public universities and counties are largely ethnic ghettos. The universities are often headed by academics - and have a majority staff - from the ethnic communities where these institutions are located and whose names they bear. Same thing with the country’s 47 devolved units. The names of universities and counties should be changed to de-ethnicize them.
