What you need to know:

  • NCIC seeking to eliminate potential discrimination of people coming from minor ethnic groups.
  • Commission to table a motion in Parliament to have the names of the 10 counties changed.

Ten counties named after ethnic groups could have their names changed should plans by the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) succeed.

The counties are Meru, Tharaka- Nithi, Nandi, Kisii, Turkana, Embu, Samburu, Taita-Taveta, West Pokot and Elgeyo-Marakwet.
