Kenya's national police recruitment campaign concluded successfully after processing applicants at 427 centers across the country for 10,000 constable positions. Inspector General Douglas Kanja reported smooth operations while touring facilities in Narok and Machakos, confirming that all stations maintained orderly procedures throughout the exercise.
The new intake addresses a three-year gap in police hiring and aims to strengthen law enforcement capacity ahead of upcoming electoral responsibilities. Kanja emphasized that successful candidates will support ongoing institutional reforms while improving the police-to-population ratio. The service advertised the openings through major newspapers following years without new recruitment, and officials will advance qualified applicants through verification and training phases to complete the expansion of personnel ranks.
