Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen will today appear before the Committee on Administration and Internal Security to brief MPs on measures taken to ensure transparency, integrity, fairness, inclusivity, accountability, and public confidence in the police recruitment process.
The session, scheduled for 10 am at County Hall, will also cover challenges linked to the dual or shared roles of the National Police Service (NPS) and the National Police Service Commission (NPSC), as outlined in the Constitution.

The regulations, developed under Section 28 of the NPSC Act, update the 2015 rules while addressing emerging issues in policing and human resource management.
