The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is expected to hire 300, 000 temporary staff.
According to the commission, the new hires will cost a whooping Ksh.6 billion in readiness for the upcoming general election slated for August 9, 2022.
The likely positions to be advertised include;
Presiding and Deputy Presiding Officers
Polling/Counting Clerk
Logistics officers
Deputy Returning Officers
Support Electoral Trainers
Constituency ICT Clerks
In the 2017 election, IEBC advertised 359,958 jobs for Kenyans.
The Wafula Chebukati-led Commission has been allocated an additional Ksh.21.7 billion for the 2022/23 financial year to facilitate the August polls.
The allocation is way short of the Ksh.40.9 billion the Commission has been demanding in recent months so as deliver credible polls.
