Top State House official Dennis Itumbi has taken aim at the Daily Nation newspaper, accusing it of fabricating facts and misreporting on the 10,000 police recruitment stalemate.
Taking to social media on Monday, the Head of Presidential Projects and Creative Economy was reacting to the Daily's September 8 front-page headline, which alluded to unsuccessful meetings between top police officials and President William Ruto that sought to end internal wrangles that have stalled the recruitment process.
Titled 'Inside State House Police Hiring Drama', the article claimed that the President had held the first meeting with Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja and his deputy, Eliud Lagat, on Friday, which ran way past midnight but reportedly failed to bear any fruit.
The second meeting was reportedly held at the Kenya School of Government with officials from the National Police Service Commission (NPSC) when the President was in Mombasa for the opening of the Agricultural Society of Kenya Show.
