Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has announced a sweeping reform agenda aimed at restoring professionalism, discipline, and service excellence in the National Police Service (NPS).

Central to the reform is a new policy that will see the recruitment of specialised officers who will bring modern ideas to promote professionalism within the service.

Speaking at Harambee House on Monday, June 16, Murkomen admitted the need for extensive reforms, adding that the fresh recruitment would go a long way in establishing modern police standards amid a wave of criticism that has rocked the service in recent times. "In our upcoming police recruitment, we shall include a specific cadre of specialised officers to infuse fresh talent, professionalism and modern police standards throughout the service," Murkomen said.
