Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has outlined ways in which the government plans to restore civilians' trust in police officers.
Speaking during a joint press engagement on Wednesday evening, Murkomen revealed that the ministry was looking into several police police reforms to restore the public's trust in the force. Firstly, he insisted on the importance of continued police training, which is currently not offered after graduation from the Kiganjo Police Training College.
In these subsequent training programmes, Murkomen said that the police officers will be trained on how to foster positive relations with the masses.
Another resolution he noted was the digital occurrence book, which he said would keep police officers accountable to their superiors, not just in their station but across the country.
