The Nairobi county government has announced vacancies for chief officers.
City Hall through the outgoing County Public Service Board on Thursday called on eligible individuals to submit their application forms online before or on October 19, 2022.
The current chief officers were vetted and approved in by the second County Assembly.
County chief officers are the authorised persons in the exercise of delegated power and are answerable to the county executive committee member in their respective dockets.
Their key functions include the day-to-day administration of departmental activities and provision of strategic policy direction for effective service delivery within the departments they are assigned to.
They also implement policies and programmes within departments.
While county executive committee members are equivalent to cabinet secretaries in the national government, chief officers are equivalent to permanent secretaries.
The power to deploy a county public officer within a department is vested in the county chief officer.
Applicants for the post must be holders of a Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field from a university recognised in Kenya.
One must also have demonstrated a thorough understanding of the Nairobi City County Manifesto and County Integrated Development Programme (CIDP).
