The position of deputy governor of Central Bank of Kenya is still vacant but those who work for the government, CBK or banks need not apply!
Public servants, bankers and serving Central Bank of Kenya employees have been barred from the race for the position of of CBK deputy governor, in what is expected to draw sharp reactions from these groups.
It is not clear why the Public Service Commission did this but the move will lock out promising talent from these segments which incidentally had been tipped to produce best candidates.
Interviews for Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) deputy governor are expected later this month after the Public Service Commission (PSC) re-advertised the position after the first 42 applicants failed to meet the minimum qualifications.
In the cancelled round of CBK deputy governor recruitment, among the 42 applicants were top CBK staff including Ms Rose Detho (Director in charge of Strategic Management), Gerald Arita Nyaoma (Director Financial Markets), Daniel Mwirigi (Deputy Director Research) and Nicholas Korir, formerly Director Policy Analysis, who is currently on secondment to COMESA Monetary Institute.
The others were Ms Sheila M’Mbijjiwe, who formerly was a committee member who sat in the influential CBK Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) was also among the applicants as well as chief executives of the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) and Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA), Charles Mutuma Ringera and George Ooko respectively.
