The Treasury has opened recruitment for four independent directors to the National Infrastructure Fund (NIF) Board to strengthen oversight and guide the development of major national infrastructure projects.
Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi said applicants must demonstrate high integrity, relevant professional experience and leadership skills to qualify for the roles.
The NIF, established under the National Infrastructure Act, 2026, is tasked with scaling up national infrastructure development, mobilising private and non-traditional financing sources, including domestic pension funds, collective investment schemes, sovereign wealth funds and climate finance, reducing reliance on public debt for commercially viable projects and enhancing national capacity to originate, structure and execute large and complex projects.
“Applications are invited from suitably qualified persons to serve as independent directors on the Board of the National Infrastructure Fund. The Board shall consist of four independent directors, who will appoint a Chairperson from among themselves. All directors will be competitively recruited by the Governing Council and appointed by notice in the Gazette,” Mbadi said.
Candidates must hold at least a university degree in finance, accounting, engineering, economics, law or a related field from a recognised Kenyan university.
They should also have a minimum of 10 years of professional experience in a relevant sector and at least five years in senior management or leadership positions, and must meet the requirements of Chapter Six of the Constitution.
The Treasury noted that applicants will be disqualified if they fall under the conditions stated in Section 15(1) of the National Infrastructure Fund Act, 2026, or are serving public officers.
The Independent directors will serve a three-year term, renewable once based on satisfactory performance.
Required application documents include: a detailed curriculum vitae with at least three referees, a copy of the National Identity Card and clearances from the Kenya Revenue Authority, Ethics and Anti-Corruption Authority, Directorate of Criminal Investigations, Higher Education Loans Board and a registered Credit Reference Bureau.
Applications should be submitted in plain sealed envelopes addressed to The Secretariat, National Treasury, Treasury Building, Harambee Avenue, P.O. Box 30007–00100, or delivered to the office of the Cabinet Secretary on the 14th floor of the Treasury Building. A soft copy should also be emailed to searchselection@treasury.go.ke.
Interested candidates have until Monday, April 25, 2026, at 5:00 pm to apply.
Mbadi warned that canvassing in any form or failure to attach any of the stipulated documents will result in automatic disqualification.
