The National Police Service Commission (NPSC) has accused the police department led by Inspector General Douglas Kanja of obstructing its oversight role by denying access to critical payroll documents.
Speaking during a session with the National Assembly's Public Accounts Committee on Wednesday, July 16, NPSC CEO Peter Leley revealed that they were denied access to audit police payroll despite a request from the Auditor General.
Leley told the committee that the commission had been unable to audit the police payroll, raising accountability concerns about whether its decisions on recruitment and staffing had been implemented. "We are static in accessing the payroll for purposes of auditing, the payroll to ascertain whether the decision of the commission have been complied with," Leley said.
