President William Ruto on Thursday received the full report of the National Taskforce on Police Reforms at State House, Nairobi and directed the immediate implementation of its recommendations.
The team led by former Chief Justice David Maraga made several recommendations aimed at enhancing the working conditions of officers in the National Police Service, Prisons Service and the National Youth Service.
"This is a very proud moment for me because we continuously deliver on our commitment. I'm very proud that we are now one step in the right direction," the President said after receiving the report.
"These are commitments that must not wait one day longer than is absolutely necessary," he said.
Ruto formed the task force on December 21, 2022, to identify the legal, policy, administrative, institutional and operational constraints on the effective service delivery across the three police services.
