The head of Kenya’s public debt management office at the finance ministry plans to leave his post in the next two months, the Business Daily newspaper reported.
Haron Sirima has been in charge since 2018 and the office is critical in the East African nation’s handling of Eurobond issuances.
“My tour of duty has come to an end. I need to give way to young blood. I have a couple of months to go awaiting recruitment of a new director,” Sirima said.
The Public Service Commission, which oversees the hiring of civil servants, has sent out an advertisement seeking applicants for Sirima’s post.
There was no immediate comment available from the debt office on Sirima’s departure.
