The Independent Election and Boundary Commission (IEBC) has announced to fill 418,192 provisional vacancies before August 9, 2022.
IEBC is looking to recruit 47 Deputy County Returning Officers, 47 county-based voter teachers and 290 constituency-based voter teachers.
Other positions to be filled include presiding officer (52,481), polling clerk/counting clerk (302,860), ICT clerk (580), and deputy constituency returning officer (290).
Opportunity seekers can apply by visiting the portal of IEBC Jobs and uploading their details.
IEBC said the portal will be closed on May 5, even as it urged interested applicants to submit their applications on time.
Chebucati noted at the same time that the electoral agency was keen to ensure that elections were free and fair and that part of those efforts was to ensure adequate manpower.
Chebulati was challenged by Archbishop Jackson Ole Sapit, the Anglican Church of Kenya, who said the electoral agency needed adequate preparation for the August elections.
Sapit also noted that the IEBC credits Kenyans with a transparent matching process of results at all levels. He said that the poll agency should instil confidence in the public to conduct reliable elections.
Archbishop Sapit explained that early preparations for the August elections would allow the commission to hold peaceful elections.
Chebucati also addressed the summons he has issued to politicians on reckless talk. He said the Commission was not powerless despite the High Court ruling that it did not have the right to hear such cases.
High Court Judge Anthony Mrima initially restrained the IEBC from proceeding to hear vote-rigging cases against Murang’a women’s representative Sabina Chege and Gatundu South MP Musa Kuria.
The commission rejected the advert by warning Kenyans through their social media accounts. The fake notice claimed that the IEBC was to recruit 262,665 polling and counting clerks before the elections.
