The position offers a monthly gross salary of Sh698,600, along with various perks such as medical coverage, an official vehicle, retirement benefits, and loan facilities for mortgages and car purchases. The new CEO will oversee the TSC secretariat, handle accounting duties, and ensure the execution of the Commission's policies and decisions.\n\nThe role remained vacant following Nancy Macharia's completion of her five-year tenure on June 30, 2025.
