Former National Police Service Commission (NPSC) chairperson Johnston Kavuludi has accused the political class of interfering with the police service.
Speaking on Spice FM on Wednesday, June 12, Kavuludi said political interference has hindered efforts to transform the police service into an accountable institution. "In my view, there has been a lot of interference from the political arena, which has hindered efforts to truly transform the police into a service that genuinely serves the Kenyan people," he said.
Kavuludi defended Police Inspector General Douglas Kanja, who has faced calls to resign following recent failures within the service. "We have a very competent IG.
He has a great personality, is well trained, well informed, and is a down-to-earth individual whom we can trust," said the former commission chair.
