The Kikuyu community are now coming out to say they have been, for long, victims of unfair profiling over major positions in government.
Pauling Njoroge, a top communication specialist and influencer from the made a post that went viral urging propagators to stop the ethnic profiling against her Gikuyu community.
Below was her post;
There is a very dishonest conversation that is being propagated with an aim to ethnically profile Kikuyu. The propagators have picked a few government departments, selected names of Kikuyus working in senior positions, while deliberately omitting names of senior officials from every other community.
I will give a few examples of MDAs that had been highlighted in that very twisted narrative
