Ethnic-driven hiring remains rampant in state corporations, a new report shows, with MPs now blaming political interference for the deep-rooted vice. 

A new report by the National Assembly National Cohesion and Equal Opportunity Committee has exposed how parastatal bosses have continued to flood the entities with tribesmen and women in total disregard of the law.
