National Treasury Announces Job Vacancies at National Infrastructure Fund
The National Treasury has announced a series of high-level job vacancies at the newly established National Infrastructure Fund (NIF), marking a significant step in the government’s efforts to accelerate the development of critical infrastructure projects across the country.
The Fund, which was recently constituted, is expected to play a central role in financing and delivering large-scale national projects through strategic partnerships with the private sector. Treasury officials say the initiative is designed to address longstanding infrastructure gaps while promoting sustainable economic growth.
Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury, John Mbadi, underscored the importance of the Fund in unlocking new financing streams for development. He stated that “By attracting diverse sources of financing, such as pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and climate finance, the Fund aims to bridge infrastructure gaps and spur economic growth,” highlighting the government’s intention to reduce reliance on traditional public funding.
According to the announcement, the NIF will be overseen by a Board of Directors composed of four members. Of these, two will serve as independent directors tasked with safeguarding transparency and accountability in the Fund’s operations. The governance structure is expected to align with international best practices, particularly in the management of large public investment vehicles.
The recruitment process for these positions will be conducted competitively under the supervision of the Fund’s Governing Council. Successful candidates will subsequently be formally appointed by the Cabinet Secretary through an official gazette notice, in line with statutory requirements.
Prospective applicants are required to meet stringent academic and professional qualifications. Candidates must hold at least a university degree from a recognised institution in fields such as finance, accounting, engineering, economics, or law. In addition, applicants must demonstrate a minimum of ten years of relevant professional experience, including at least five years in senior management or leadership roles.
The Treasury has also outlined comprehensive application requirements aimed at ensuring integrity and accountability in the selection process. Applicants are expected to submit a detailed curriculum vitae complete with referees, a copy of their national identification card, and updated contact information.
Further, candidates must provide valid clearance certificates from key regulatory and oversight bodies. These include the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI). Additional clearances from the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) and a registered Credit Reference Bureau (CRB) are also mandatory.
Mbadi emphasised the strict adherence to these requirements, warning that “failure to provide any of the required documentation will result in automatic disqualification.” The directive underscores the government’s commitment to transparency and due diligence in public appointments.
Interested candidates have been advised to submit their applications either by mail in sealed envelopes or through hand delivery to the National Treasury offices. All submissions must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. on Monday, April 25, 2026.
The establishment of the National Infrastructure Fund is part of broader reforms aimed at strengthening Kenya’s capacity to finance and implement transformative projects. Analysts note that the success of the Fund will largely depend on the calibre of its leadership and the robustness of its governance framework, making the ongoing recruitment process a critical milestone.
