Do you want to manage the Jubilee Party nominations on April 21?
If yes, you only have until Friday this week to submit you application for the thousands of jobs that President Uhuru Kenyatta’s party has advertised.
The party has taken a huge gamble with an announcement that it will conduct its high stakes nominations for all elective seats except that of President, in all counties, in a single day.
The posts on offer are that of 47 County Returning Officer, 290 Constituency Returning Officers, thousands of Presiding Officers and an even bigger number of polling clerks and counting clerks.
20, 000 CLERKS
In an advertisement in the local dailies, the party did not however announce the number of people it wants in the different posts, but Secretary General Raphael Tuju had in an exclusive interview on Sunday told the Nation that the party will hire “over 20,000 clerks.”
To apply, the party said, applicants should complete an online form available on the Jubilee website.
“The forms are also available at the county offices in case one cannot complete the online application. All applications should be received on or before Friday April 7, 2017,” the Party said in a notice signed by Mr Andrew Musangi, the chairman of the National Elections Board.
For the County Returning Officer, who will announce results of all the five elective seats up for grabs at the county level and issue certificates, must be a graduate of 10 years of work experience in the public or private sector, and be computer literate.
The Constituency Returning Officer, who will give certificates to members of Parliament and Members of the County Assembly, will need to have the same qualifications as that of the County Returning Officer.
COUNTING VOTES
Presiding Officers will be the overall head of polling stations – some that Mr Tuju said will be merged for management ease – and will manage the counting of votes and announcement of results at the polling station before submitting them to the constituency.
A Presiding Officer must have aged 25-45 years, with a degree or a diploma and must be computer literate.
The party will also hire thousands of polling clerks that will manage the counting and the nominations themselves.
To qualify, one must be aged between 21 to 35 years, have a Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education with a grade above C+ as well as be computer literate.
