[Boniface Okendo/ Standard]Positions of three directors -human resource, legal affairs and procurement - up for grabs following retirement and sackings at poll commission. The National Treasury has slammed brakes on a planned recruitment of senior managers to replace those who either retired or got sacked from the electoral agency. The letter by Treasury PS Kamau Thuge dated April 24 said IEBC failed to adhere to the requirement that all new recruitment remain frozen as per the Treasury circular No. And just two days after advertising the jobs, IEBC called for expression of interest from qualified human resource firms to offer consultancy services in the recruitment. Last year, IEBC sent away its director of procurement Lawy Aura for allegedly bungling major procurement deals, among them to Sh2.5 billion tender for ballot papers.
