A few days ago, Anglican Church clergy, led by Archbishop Jackson ole Sapit, faulted the government on, among other things, appointment to state jobs. Before the bishops made their announcement, there had been disquiet in the mainstream and social media, the political opposition, and the general public about criteria for appointment to state jobs.
Now, accusations that these are based on kinship should always be treated with caution because, in this emotive matter, perception can easily be mistaken for reality. It could well be that the person appointed was the best qualified and their ethnicity was just coincidental.
