NAIROBI, Kenya March 14 – The Parliamentary Service Commission has shortlisted ten candidates for the position of the nominee of the commission to the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC).
Notable names that have been nominated for the slot include Former Kitutu Chache North MP Jimmy Angwenyi, Former Taveta MP Naomi Shaban, and Former Limuru MP Peter Mwathi.
In the pool of 103 candidates who applied for the positions Former Busia Woman Representative Florence Mutua also made it to the list, Former Uasin Gishu Senator Isaac Melly and Former Matungu MP David Were.
Justa Wawira Mwangi, Judith Wachianga Ojwang, Ruth Nyaga, and Abdi Muhumed Ali awaiting interviews which will be held on Wednesday, March 22, 2023, at Parliament Buildings.
The shortlisted candidates are required to bring their National IDs, academic transcripts, clearance certificates from the Kenya Revenue Authority, Higher Education Loans Board, DCI, and a self-declaration form stamped by the Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission.
In the gazette advertisement, PSC has urged members of the public to submit sworn memoranda containing any information of interest concerning the suitability of the shortlisted nominees.
The PSC nominee is expected to champion the agenda of the MPs in the commission as well as deal with negative publicity against the lawmakers whenever they are pushing for better perks.
The SRC has been at loggerheads with the 416 MPs on their move to abolish sitting allowances as well as car grants and transport mileage for Members of Parliament which took effect from August 9, 2022.
This is amidst threats by MPs in the 13th Parliament to disband the commission as the changes are set to take effect.
