HELB CEO Amongst Six Shortlisted For CBK Deputy Governor Post
The Public Service Commission (PSC) has shortlisted six candidates for the position of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) deputy governor.
In a statement on Thursday, September 26, 2024, PSC indicated that the six were among other candidates who applied to fill the position of the second deputy governor of CBK following an advertisement made on March 30, 2023.
The shortlisted candidates include Prof. Dulacha Galgallo Barako, Gerald Nysoma Arita, Jane Wangui Kiringai, HELB CEO Charles Mutuma Ringera, Dr. Florence Kaki Kinyanzui and Dr. Habil Okunda Olaka.
“Pursuant to the provisions of Sections 138 of the Central Bank of Kenya Act, the Public Service Commission invited applications from suitably qualified persons for the position of Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya in the print media and Commission’s website on 30th March 2025.
“Following the conclusion of the shortlisting exercise, the Commission hereby publishes the shortlisted candidates and the interview schedule,” a notice from PSC read in part.
The six are expected to face an interviewing panel on Thursday, October 3, 2024
“Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed at the Public Service Commission, Commission House, Harambee Avenue, Nairobi on the date and time indicated. Candidates should be at the venue at least fifteen (15) minutes before the starting time,” PSC added while listing all documents expected to be availed during the interview period.
Second Deputy Governor
The hiring of the second deputy governor is expected to correct a breach which previously had been raised by the office of the Auditor-General.
The law was enacted in 2015 demanding that the executive team at the CBK should be composed of the governor and two deputies.
However, during the previous administration, efforts to get a second deputy governor failed to be implemented. Following the exit of Patrick Njoroge and his sole assistant Sheila M’Mbijjiwe as governor and deputy respectively, CBK embarked on the bid to honour the enacted law of having two deputy governors.
At the moment, Kamau Thugge is the CBK Governor and he is deputized by Dr. Susan Jemtai Koech who was appointed by President Ruto in March 2022.
Koech joined CBK after a distinguished career in which she served in senior roles in the banking sector and the government.
Before joining CBK, she served as Principal Secretary in the State Departments of East African Community, Regional Development, and Wildlife.
