The National Police Service Commission (NPSC) has denied claims of a rift with the National Police Service (NPS) regarding the management of human resource functions.
In a statement on Thursday, July 17, the NPSC clarified that the purported standoff was based on misunderstandings linked to past audit queries and not the current state of affairs within the police service.
According to the NPSC, the issues predate September 2024, when Douglas Kanja began his tenure as Inspector General of Police. "The Commission wishes to clarify that the audit matters under discussion pertain to the financial year 2022/2023, which was prior to the appointment of the current Inspector General of Police, Mr Douglas Kanja," a statement from the NPSC said.
