Kenya Electricity Transmission Company Limited (Ketraco) has dropped mandatory tax, debt and integrity clearance requirements in a revised advertisement for its chief executive officer position, weeks after an earlier recruitment notice was withdrawn following a legal threat.

The new advert removes requirements for clearance certificates from the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the Higher Education Loans Board (Helb) and Credit Reference Bureaus (CRBs).
