Former nominated senator Mary Yiane Seneta is among nine individuals who have been shortlisted by the Public Service Commission (PSC) to become members of the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC).

In a statement on Friday, August 22, 2025, PSC announced that the other shortlisted candidates were former Magarini MP Michael Thoyah Kingi, Abdul Bahari Ali, Richard Chacha Boke, Zuleikha Juma Hassan, Kosiom Frank Kibelekenya, Abubakar Ketemon Lewano, Susan Chepkisur Chongo Nakoru, and Teresia Jerusah Michael.

The PSC advised the shortlisted candidates that the interviews will be conducted on August 29, 2025, at the Public Service Commission, Harambee Avenue, Nairobi.

Interview documents

The candidates should be at the venue at least twenty minutes before the start time.

Shortlisted candidates should bring originals of their National Identity Card, Academic and Professional certificates and transcripts, and any other supporting documents and testimonials.

They should also avail current and valid clearances from the Kenya Revenue Authority, Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission, Higher Education Loans Board, any of the Registered Credit Reference Bureaus, Directorate of Criminal Investigations (Police Clearance Certificate), Letter of recognition of qualifications from the Commission for University Education (CUE) for any degree obtained from foreign universities and recommendations from relevant professional bodies (where applicable).

The exercise to fully reconstitute SRC comes months after the National Assembly approved the appointment of Sammy Chepkwony to head the commission for a period of six years, after taking over from his predecessor Lyn Mengich.

“I want to urge the SRC commissioners to look at things holistically. Let them not be duped that if you deal with politicians is when Kenyans take you seriously,” Junet said on January 16, 2025, after the approval of Chepkwony at the National Assembly.
