The race to succeed outgoing Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) Governor Patrick Njoroge and his deputy Sheila M'Mbijjewe has started after the government invited applications for the roles.
The 62-year-old Dr Njoroge, an ex-International Monetary Fund (IMF) adviser and devotee of the conservative Roman Catholic group Opus Dei, is serving his second and final four-year term alongside M'Mbijjewe.
