Vice Chairperson’s Diary – Dr. Amani Yuda Komora, PhD, MBS, CHRP

It has been a great honour and privilege to serve the country as a Member of SRC. It was also humbling to get endorsement to serve as Vice Chairperson of SRC.

We have had a good team of Commissioners from diverse professional backgrounds and disciplines and ably supported by a
solid technical team at the Secretariat.

My experience at SRC has been remarkable, including a mixed bag of opportunities to apply my knowledge and experience of many years at national policy level, career growth and maturity, as well as challenges that had to be conquered, as part of the journey.

My motivation had been summoned from the fact that SRC is a creature of the Constitution vested with a clear mandate, and further knowing that we are on a noble cause, and doing the right thing for the country.

The next Commission should embrace consistency in the application of the guiding principles as set out in law/ statute, seasoning with wisdom, and using emotional intelligence.

Besides, it is important to mind about processes as ‘the process is as important/good as the outcome’.

I wish to be remembered as the listening, sober/objective leader, bridge-maker, peacemaker and the astute diplomat.

While I am available for any other public service role, beyond SRC, I see huge potential in private practice such as in providing HR solutions to institutions.

This Commission ran a race and kept the pace; public service being a relay race. We pass on the baton to the next on the tracks.
