Inspector General Douglas Kanja dismissed efforts by the National Police Service Commission and Parliament to assume payroll control. He maintains that financial administration remains within his constitutional authority as the Service's Accounting Officer. Kanja referenced the Public Finance Management Act and constitutional articles as legal foundations for his position. The police chief emphasized that payroll management represents a sensitive accountability document under his jurisdiction. He warned that external interference violates the separation of powers principle.
The Inspector General acknowledged the Commission's human resources role while rejecting their financial oversight claims. He distinguished between parliamentary scrutiny and administrative interference. Kanja stated that oversight involves reporting and auditing rather than direct management control. The police leader cautioned against actions that compromise operational independence. He urged constitutional bodies to respect established boundaries and support his lawful duties.
