Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi speaking at a homecoming ceremony for Dr. Amani Komora, the newly appointed Chairperson of the National Police Service Commission (NPSC) in Tana River/OPCSPrime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has lauded the Kenyan police as one of the most professional security forces in the world, citing their exemplary conduct in international peacekeeping missions.
Speaking at a homecoming ceremony for Dr. Amani Komora, the newly appointed Chairperson of the National Police Service Commission (NPSC), Mudavadi said Kenya’s police service has earned global respect through participation in more than 50 peace missions worldwide.
“Our security forces are professional, orderly, and regarded globally. We must ensure that the standards are kept at any given time,” said Mudavadi at the event held in Oda Village, Tana River County.
He pointed to the ongoing peace mission in Haiti, where more than 800 Kenyan officers have served with distinction, as a powerful example of the force’s discipline and integrity.
“The peace mission in Haiti has been there for 15 months and there is no single recorded case of human rights violation. This is a testament of their professionalism,” he said.
Mudavadi called on Komora to uphold and strengthen the standards set by his predecessor, Eliud Kinuthia, in leading the NPSC.
“You have no option as the chairperson but to make sure that the standards are kept—if not the way they are, they must be higher,” he urged.
The Prime Cabinet Secretary also took the opportunity to
call on the people of Tana River County to nurture peace in their communities,
noting that stability is a key ingredient for development.
“Every investor is keen to put their money where they know there is peace. It is therefore important that you maintain a harmonious life to attract development in your area,” he said, referencing ongoing projects like the Galana Kulalu initiative as examples of peace-driven progress.
Mudavadi praised Komora’s career in public service, describing him as a symbol of national cohesion and a role model for the youth.
“His leadership is an inspiration and a testament to the transformative power of dedication and discipline,” he added.
The event drew a wide array of dignitaries, reflecting national unity and respect for public service.
Among those present were Tana River Governor Major (Rtd) Dhadho Godhana, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen, Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja, Director of Criminal Investigations Mohamed Amin, Senators Danson Mungatana (Tana River) and Ledama Olekina (Narok), and COTU Secretary-General Francis Atwoli.
"As chief guest, I was deeply moved by the unity and pride that filled the air. Dr. Komora’s story reminds us that when integrity guides our path, we not only rise, we uplift others with us," said Mudavadi.
The homecoming ceremony served as both a celebration of leadership and a call to action to uphold the values of professionalism, integrity, and peace in national service.
