The shortlisted candidates are set to undergo interviews at the Public Service Commission, after which successful applicants will be forwarded to President William Ruto for formal appointment.
PSC said that it received 2,517 applications but only shortlisted candidates who met the set requirements.
The commission has invited members of the public to provide any credible information regarding the shortlisted individuals through sworn affidavits.
Submissions can be made to the Secretary/CEO, Public Service Commission, or via email at principalsecretary2024@publicservice.go.ke by January 24, 2025.
