The National Treasury has announced vacancies for board positions in the newly established National Infrastructure Fund (NIF), inviting qualified Kenyans to apply.
In a notice dated April 9, 2026, Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi said the recruitment targets individuals to serve as independent directors on the Fund’s Board.
New Fund Targets Major Infrastructure Projects
According to the Treasury, the National Infrastructure Fund was created under the National Infrastructure Act, 2026, to accelerate the development of large-scale national projects.
The Fund is expected to mobilise financing from a wide range of sources, including private investors, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds and climate financing institutions.
Officials say the initiative is aimed at bridging Kenya’s infrastructure gap while supporting long-term economic growth.
Board Composition and Role
The NIF will be overseen by a Board of Directors comprising four members, including two independent directors who will play a key role in ensuring transparency, accountability and proper governance.
Appointments will be made through a competitive recruitment process led by the NIF Governance Council, with successful candidates formally gazetted by the Cabinet Secretary.

Interested applicants must hold at least a university degree in relevant fields such as finance, economics, engineering, accounting or law.
Candidates are also required to have a minimum of 10 years of professional experience, including at least five years in senior leadership or management roles.

The Treasury warned that incomplete applications will be automatically disqualified.
