Is it that no one is interested in IEBC’s CEO post? Well, the Wafula Chebukati-led Commission has re-advertised the vacant position of Commission’s Secretary/ Chief Executive Officer.
Through an advertisement on Tuesday in the dailies, IEBC advised those who had applied earlier for the position to reapply afresh, citing that the deadline for applicants is on Monday 3, 2019.
IEBC re-advertises CEO position that was previously held by Ezra Chiloba who was sacked last year. Only a few people applied for the job… seems no one is interested in that job.

The CEO position was left vacant after the commission sacked former CEO Ezra Chiloba who had been on suspension since April 2018.
Chiloba was sacked on September 24 last year after being indicted by the commission’s internal audit report which revealed taxpayers could have lost millions in flawed procurement of goods and services for the 2017 General Election.
The commission is currently operating with only three commissioners.
The three are chairman Wafula Chebukati, commissioners Boya Molu and Abdi Guliye.
Following the decision to send the CEO on compulsory leave in April 2018, three commissioners – Connie Maina, Paul Kurgat and Margaret Mwachanya – announced their resignation on April 16, 2018.
Do you think IEBC is currently up to the task to hold the looming referendum, census and the upcoming 2022 polls?
