Director of Finance Cheptumo Ayebei emerged third and Director of Administration Services Simon Kavisi was ranked fourth. Sources at the commission revealed Macharia scooped the highest marks.

"The marks are still arbitrary figures which put her on top. But computation into percentage is still ongoing," said an official privy to the details.

The official said releasing of the results was delayed because of logistics.

"Some people sent memoranda, which are still being analysed so that the process is complete. This is a process that must be done with utmost care," said the official, who is not authorised to speak to the media.

Of the 72 candidates who applied for the position, only four have been shortlisted.
