Inspector-General of Police Douglas Kanja is once again in Parliament's crosshairs over his repeated failure to hand over the police payroll to the National Police Service Commission (NPSC).

On Tuesday, the National Assembly's Constitutional Implementation and Oversight Committee (CIOC) summoned Kanja to appear on September 16 to answer questions about his continued defiance of the law.

The committee, chaired by Caroli Omondi, issued the summons amid reports that Kanja and his two Deputies, Gilbert Masengeli and Eliud Lagat, had been skipping the Commission's meetings, denying it the quorum required to conduct any business. "This committee has resolved to summon the Inspector-General of Police to appear in person on September 16, 2025.

This sitting will not be held in camera, as the issues we intend to address are of public interest," said Omondi.
