Daily NationThe daily reported that 10 counties named after ethnic groups could have their names changed should the National Cohesion and Integration Commission's (NCIC) plans succeed. The counties are Meru, TharakaNithi, Nandi, Kisii, Turkana, Embu, Samburu, Taita-Taveta, West Pokot and Elgeyo-Marakwet. This move, the NCIC says, will eliminate potential discrimination of people coming from minor ethnic groups who live in these counties. The NCIC estimates that 33 out of the 47 counties have boundary disputes.
