Principal Secretary for the Ministry of Interior and National Administration Raymond Omollo has announced that the government will be appealing the High Court ruling that declared the Police Reforms Taskforce, chaired by former Chief Justice David Maraga, unconstitutional.
The Maraga Task Force proposed over 500 police reforms, focusing on improving welfare, salaries, housing, and training and modernising security operations, but was declared unconstitutional.
While maintaining that they respect the ruling, Omollo revealed that they will be seeking an appeal since they have streamlined some of the recommendations that had been issued by the court.
According to Omollo, the court's decision primarily focused on the role of the National Police Service Commission and challenged only 16 out of a total of 271 recommendations made by the Maraga task force.
