Jobs at the National Treasury – Apply

Job Description

Kenyans with strong professional backgrounds have been invited to compete for influential board positions in a newly established state fund, following an announcement by the National Treasury.

In a notice dated April 9, 2026, Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi revealed that the Governance Council of the National Infrastructure Fund (NIF) has begun the process of recruiting board members, including independent directors.

“The NIF Governance Council is in the process of recruiting members of the Board for the National Infrastructure Fund (NIF) as per section 13 of the National Infrastructure Act, 2026,” Mbadi stated.

He noted that the exercise is anchored in the provisions of the National Infrastructure Fund Act, 2026, which sets out the legal and operational framework guiding the fund.

The National Infrastructure Fund was created to fast-track the rollout of key infrastructure projects across the country, with a strong focus on attracting private sector participation in financing large-scale, commercially viable developments.

According to Mbadi, the Fund will tap into multiple financing streams, including pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and climate finance, to help close infrastructure gaps and stimulate economic growth.

Oversight of the Fund will rest with a Board of Directors made up of four members, two of whom will be independent directors tasked with safeguarding transparency and accountability in its operations.

All appointments will follow a competitive selection process conducted by the Governance Council, with successful candidates to be formally appointed through a gazette notice issued by the Cabinet Secretary.

Qualifications

Applicants must hold at least a university degree in disciplines such as finance, accounting, engineering, economics, or law from a recognised institution.

They are also required to have a minimum of 10 years’ professional experience, including at least five years in senior leadership or management roles.

Application Requirements

Candidates must submit a detailed application, including a comprehensive CV with referees, a copy of their national ID, and valid contact details.

Additionally, applicants are required to provide clearance certificates from key institutions, including the Kenya Revenue Authority, Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission, and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations.

Clearance from the Higher Education Loans Board and a registered Credit Reference Bureau is also mandatory.

Mbadi cautioned that incomplete applications will be automatically disqualified.

Interested candidates are required to submit their applications either by post in sealed envelopes or by hand delivery to the National Treasury offices by 5:00 pm on Monday, April 25, 2026.
