this is all nonsense,kikuyus are the majority hence they should be majority in goverment and public service,however no tribe should be turned down a job if he or she is qualified to do that particular job coz of his/her ethinicity.if u base ur arguements on politics then sack all kikuyus and kalenjins and bring maasai turkana and pokots who r in the wild busy grazing their cattles.alot of minority ethics tribes are not even educated,so where do u start this balance really?shit.
