The CS stated that police officers should be honored for the hardships they have endured in the name of public safety. “We are promoting the officers who have worked for the public,” the CS declared.
Koome received criticism from the National Police Service Commission last week for promoting 500 police officers. Furthermore, Kindiki voiced her concerns about rogue police officers terrorizing the public and demanding money from boda boda drivers on Sunday at Pefa Church in Kamahuha Village, Maragua.
To preserve the reputation of the force, he declared, “I will deal with rogue police officers.”
The advertising stated, in part, “The commission hereby invites applications from qualified police officers to fill the following positions at the National Police Service.”
Executive Order No. 1 of 2023, dated 6 January, 2023, acknowledged the independence of the NPSC and the National Police Service, according to the commission’s CEO Peter Leley.
A few hours after the advertisement was published, the IG sent a message to all police formations and commands instructing them not to submit any applications for the posts being advertised.
Eliud Kinuthia, head of the NPSC, informed The Standard over the phone that “the purported promotions are null and void.” In a press release that was authored by Leley, the commission addressed the problem in more detail.
Kinuthia cautioned that the policemen who had received promotion letters without consulting their employer ran the possibility of being disciplined for following illegal commands.
He claimed that the commission had instructed the Treasury’s Director of Pensions not to grant any financial benefits to the officers who had been promoted by the IG.
