]]> National ForceIn a call for applications for their 2015 Recruitment, the Kenya Police put out a notice stating “Pursuant of the articles particularly articles 10;232; 238(d;) 243; 246(3); 246(4) and chapter six, sections 10, 11 and 12 the National Police Service Commission Act, 2011, the National Police Service Commission (NPSC) seeks to recruit suitable and qualified candidates who satisfy the provisions of the constitution, the enabling acts and the additional criteria below to be trained as police constables.”

10000 candidates were needed (6000 for the Kenya Police service and 4000 for the administration Police service).

On Monday 20th April 1000s of recruits from across the country turned up at Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi and other recruitment centres around the country, including the NYS Headquarters and CID Training School in South C, to vie for these posts in the National Force. According to Rashid Mohammed, the Recruitment Officer at Nyayo Stadium, the turnout was quite remarkable and good. Recruits underwent vigorous medical and physical tests.

Following the recruitment, NPSC said the police recruitment conducted had been successfully completed and recruits started reporting for training on Wednesday 22nd April, 2015. All recruits were expected to report by Sunday 26th April.

This comes in the wake of the Garissa attack that claimed almost 150 lives and the government of Kenya’s promise to not allow the terrorists to ‘continue as normal’ but fight them with ‘greater intensity’.

Despite the process having had hurdles along the way, with last year’s 2014 recruitment having been halted due to allegations of corruption and the case still being heard in the High Court, the recruitment went ahead. A number of people believed that earlier complaints needed to have been addressed before a new recruitment was held, however, many more were of the view that the 2015 recruitment process should still go ahead so that the police can get in front of the terrorism threat and also provide much needed jobs to the Kenyan populace.

The National Police Service Commission Chairman Johnston Kavuludi earlier said that the case in high court would proceed but would not stop the 2015 recruitment. He also stated “As we speak now, I would like to confirm to the public that those who were successful have already started reporting at the various police training colleges in the country specifically the Training College at Kiganjo, the Administration Police Training College at Embakasi and at the GSU Training School at Embakasi,” .

13 senior police officers have been removed from the service since the exercise began.
