Kenya National Police DT Sacco CEO Solomon Atsiaya addressing attendees during the training seminar on May 21, 2025/ HANDOUTThe National Police Service Commission has been sensitised on financial management and investments in a two-day Pre-Retirement Training Programme.
The training programme aimed at preparing police officers aged 50 to 60 years for a confident and dignified transition into retirement.
It was conducted in partnership with the Kenya National Police DT SACCO, held from May 20 to 21, 2025, at the College of Insurance, South C.
The training targeted 150 officers drawn from all police services within the Nairobi region.
The Kenya National Police DT SACCO said retirement is a significant life transition, and officers must be equipped with the financial knowledge and tools necessary to thrive in their post-service lives.
The sessions covered included personal financial management and investments, psychological and health issues in retirement and estate planning and management.
Other aspects covered during the training included business start-up and resource mobilisation, roadblocks to retirement and personal effectiveness, and attitude toward change and the new retirement lifestyle.
National Police Service Commission CEO Peter Leley reaffirmed the National Police Service Commission's commitment to ensuring that police officers are adequately prepared for a smooth transition from active service to post-retirement life.
He emphasised that the training will help officers retire well with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
“Our mission extends beyond active service. We are here to ensure that every police officer is not only financially literate but also financially secure throughout retirement,” Kenya National Police DT SACCO CEO Solomon Atsiaya said.
“We are honoured to contribute to this initiative by offering financial advisory services and sharing a wide array of financial products tailored for members approaching or entering retirement."
He said the partnership with NPSC is part of a broader vision to enhance the financial empowerment and resilience of our police officers beyond their years in active duty.
The trainers also included representatives from the Retirement Benefits Authority and the National Treasury Pension Department.
