Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has revealed that the National Police Service Commission (NPSC) is set to pilot an automated police recruitment system in the country.
Murkomen hosted the commission’s leadership, led by Chairperson Eliud Kinuthia, where he revealed the move was part of the government’s modernisation agenda within its security agencies.
“The commission is also piloting the automation of police recruitment to enhance accountability, transparency, and efficiency,” the CS said.
The CS further stated that discussions were underway to identify areas of improvement within the system and to seal all potential loopholes that could facilitate corruption.
Notably, automation of recruitment is on the verge of being rolled out at the recommendation of former Chief Justice David Maraga, whose report brought forth the rot in the recruitment of police officers in 2023.
