Kenya: Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) employees are set to battle it out for the position of Deputy Governor after the Public Service Commission (PSC) rescinded its earlier stand that they were not eligible to apply for the job. The agency had on March 1 said all current CBK employees, bankers and civil servants would be locked out of the race for the position.
"No person shall be appointed as deputy governor... if he/she is a Member of Parliament or a Member of a County Assembly, a salaried employee of any public entity (except on a secondment basis) or a director, officer, employee, partner in or shareholder of any specified bank or financial institution," it had said in a statement.
