Commissioners at the agency that vets police have downplayed death threats to them over alleged bias in the probe process.
NPSC chairman Johnston Kavuludi said that they will not be cowed by attempts to end their lives and will continue vetting officers in all the regions.
"Every profession has its own risks but we will not be intimidated. Threats can't make us abandon our jobs," Kavuludi said in Nakuru on Monday.
Some commissioners had claimed that their lives were at risk after unidentified police officers sent death threats to them over alleged bias in the vetting process.

Kavuludi, while at the office of South Rift regional coordinator Wanyama Musiambo for a courtesy call, said 330 traffic cops are already lined up for vetting in the region.
This comes shortly after officers in Kakamega, and Coast regions faced the NPSC panel.
Traffic bases including Gilgil, Nakuru, Naivasha, Molo, Salgaa, Kericho among others will be vetted starting Wednesday.
Article 246 of the Constitution and National Police Service Act (2011) requires that officers are assessed for suitability and competence.
The standards include officers’ satisfaction of entry and training requirements, professional conduct and discipline, integrity, financial probity, and respect for human rights.
Officers who satisfy the commission with regard to competence and suitability will be retained and those who do not will be removed from the service.
Mary Owuor, Murshid Mohamed, Ronald Musengi are among the commissioner set to probe the officers for the next 14 days.
"We urge the public to come forward with more information, positive or negative on the officers being vetted. The information must be backed by an evidence," Kavuludi said.
