In a notice published in MyGov on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, the panel said it is seeking to fill one chairperson position and four board member slots.
“The appointments seek to attract individuals of high integrity, demonstrated leadership, and proven expertise in fields relevant to science, technology, innovation, finance, governance, industry, or public administration, to provide strategic direction and oversight to the Agency in advancing Kenya’s innovation ecosystem and national development priorities,” the notice reads.
Details of the posts, requirements and mode of application can be accessed on the KeNIA website.
