The Government will deliver security in the country without sacrificing fundamental rights.
We will seize every opportunity to restore stability in the region through peacekeeping deployments and robust diplomatic efforts
President Williams Ruto said the police will be transformed into a more professional and autonomous service. He noted that the service will be cushioned against political and bureaucratic manipulations.
“Without autonomy, the service is vulnerable to weaponisation, making it a threat to our security.” The President explained that the police-to-citizen ratio will also be escalated to “responsively and effectively” combat crime.
The President made the remarks on Wednesday during the pass-out parade for the recruits at the National Police College in Embakasi, Nairobi County. Kenya, he added will not relent in its quest for a stable, peaceful and prosperous Horn of Africa.
