The Central Region Police Commander has inaugurated a new county-level anti-corruption committees to intensify the fight against graft and related criminal activities within the police service.
Speaking during a regional security meeting held at a Murang'a hotel, Central Region Police Commander Mr.
Samuel Ndanyi announced that each of the five counties namely, Murang'a, Nyeri, Kirinyaga, Nyandarua, and Laikipia will now have a dedicated committee to handle cases of corruption involving police officers.
Ndanyi noted that the move is in line with a directive from the Inspector General of Police aimed at institutionalizing accountability, enhancing professionalism, and restoring public confidence in the police service. "These committees will develop practical work plans and strategies to fight corruption within the police ranks," He stated, adding "They will also serve as watchdogs to ensure transparency and discipline among officers at the county level." Ndanyi said for now the committees will have members drawn from the police service but in near future officers from other government agencies will be included. "Our target is to have a corrupt free police service as we endeavour to service all Kenyans professionally and with accountability," He stated.
