CS Kindiki: Police Officers To Change Stations After Every 3 Years

Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki now says that police officers will be transferred to different police stations after every three years. 

Appearing before the National Assembly on Wednesday, April 12, CS Kindiki said the Government will implement the policy across the Country. 

"As a policy, we will ensure that no police officer, of whatever rank, will serve in one police station for more than three years. If you have served in a police station for three years, it is time to go," the Interior CS said. 

At the same time, CS Kindiki said that police officers must use their firearms in accordance with the law. 

"Any police officer who uses their firearm to defend themselves and citizens from armed criminals, in accordance with the law, we will defend them. But at the same time, any police officer who misuses a firearm assigned to them, will be on their own and face the law," he stated. 

When pressed on the issue of banditry in the North Rift region which has become a menace in the country, Kindiki said," We must come round this problem of banditry. It goes beyond the recovery of stolen livestock. We must prevent theft in the first instance. This afternoon, I have approved the recruitment and training of 200 National Police reservists in Baringo County."
