According to a new report, nearly four in ten (39 percent) of the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) employees are from the Kalenjin and Kikuyu tribes.

EPRA’s Employment Diversity Report indicates that 22 percent (42) of the authority’s staff are Kalenjin, with Kikuyu at 17 percent (32).

The audit, which surveyed the recruitment rate in the past three years, also shows that the least represented community in EPRA is Embu and Bajun, representing 0.52 percent of the headcount.

Further, of the 190 job positions in the authority, 63 percent are male and 37 percent are female. Six staff members of the authority are people living with disabilities.

The authority’s employee age bracket is between 24 and 57 years old.

However, EPRA has assured that it is posting job advertisements in various advertisement joints, such as its website and news, as a mechanism to lift the number of minorities, which include women and people with disabilities.

“All adverts contain the clause of ‘youth, female, persons with disability and marginalized are strongly encouraged to apply’ to afford adequate and equal opportunities for appointment to, persons with disabilities, women and minorities.”
