How To Apply For IEBC BBI Verification Clerk Jobs, Earn Sh1200 Daily

by Mustafa Juma December 19, 2020

written by Mustafa Juma

Are you a form four leaver, possess basic computer skills and you are in need of a job? Are you aware of the IEBC BBI signature verification jobs?

Well, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is calling for applications for the posts of signature verification clerks ahead of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) verification process.

In a notice on Saturday, IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati said they will need 400 personnel for the verification process.

They will be paid Sh1,200 per day for the exercise. This will cost Sh480,000.

Applicants should be Kenyan citizens with high integrity, hold a form four certificate, be computer literate, have data entry skills and must be available for the entire period.

Also, applicants should be from Nairobi county if not, interested candidates should arrange for their own accommodation during that period, Chebukati said.

The deadline for the application is December 24,2020 and applications must be done online.

The National Treasury approved Sh93.7 million funding to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission for the verification of BBI signatures.

Cabinet Secretary Ukur Yatani approved the amount after deliberations with IEBC managers.

The IEBC sought Sh241 million from the exchequer to review the signatures recently presented by the BBI Secretariat.

The money would be used to hire and train clerks who will verify the signatures. This process would take 85 days to complete.

Yatani revealed this on a day when ODM leader Raila Odinga asked IEBC commissioners to resign to pave way for a new team.

Yesterday, Raila dismissed the electoral commission demands for more money for verification of the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill signatures and referendum.

He accused the commissioners of planning to sabotage the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) process, saying they continue to earn huge salaries despite not having work to do after elections.

Yesterday, IEBC posted on Twitter that it would proceed with the verification exercise. It explained that to undertake the verification, it needs to hire data entry clerks, conference facilities, accommodation and stationery.
