List of 10 shortlisted for CBK Deputy Governor post
The Public Service Commission has shortlisted ten candidates to compete for the second position at the Central Bank of Kenya, which has been vacant for seven years.
Former Higher Loans Education Board CEO Charles Ringera, Ex-National Bank boss Munir Ahmed, James Lopoyetum, Susan Koech, Micheal Mwebesa, and Paul Muthaura are among those on the list.
Jeam Awinja, Gerald Arita, Rose Ngugi, and Fredrick Oyugi are among the others.
They will be interviewed by the Public Service Commission on December 13 and 14.
According to the law, CBK should be managed by one governor and two deputies at all times.
The Central Bank of Kenya Act states: “There shall be two deputy governors who shall be appointed by the president through a transparent competitive process and with the approval of Parliament.”
Sheila M’Mbijjewe has been the lone deputy governor since June 2015, when the CBK board failed to renew her counterpart Haron Sirma’s term.
A person must be a person of integrity and meet the requirements of Chapter Six of the Constitution in order to be appointed to the position.
The deputy governor is appointed for a four-year term but is eligible for reappointment.
In a notice, the PSC stated that applicants must be Kenyan citizens, of recognised professional standing, and possess a Bachelor’s degree in Economics, Finance, Banking, Law, or any other field relevant to CBK functions.
The deputy governor of the Central Bank of Kenya performs functions assigned by the governor of the Central Bank of Kenya and is not permitted to work in any other paid capacity.
