The Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA) is looking for new employees as part of an ongoing initiative aimed at promoting national development and public awareness within the sector.
According to a statement from CEO and Commissioner of Insurance, Sammy Makove, the Authority is looking for resource persons to upscale their consumer education agenda. The IRA will expect them to conduct these activities across the Counties.
The move follows the second phase of the Authority’s campaign, which involved the unofficial recruitment of religious leaders. The first phase involved government lobbying aimed at encouraging transparency within the sector. The IRA has since decided to enforce Section 5 of the Insurance Act which gives them the power to ensure growth and development within the industry.
For this particular task, however, the Authority is looking for people with substantive knowledge and understanding in the field of insurance. The IRA has also put an emphasis on candidates from the Financial Sector. Speaking to Pesatalk during a recent exchange, Authority officials encouraged all the relevant parties to apply. However, they were reluctant to say how many positions were available.
They mentioned that applicants with a degree in insurance, risk management, finance, law or any business-related field will be at an advantage. Those within the field of medicine and engineering have also been encouraged to vie for a post. They will be expected to work as short term consultants for the insurance sector.
Application closes on Tuesday the 11th of December, 2012.
