The National Police Service Commission (NPSC) has announced it will recruit 10,000 new police constables this month through a new online system. This historic move is aimed at curbing graft and streamlining the process, following the adoption of the new National Police Service Commission Recruitment and Appointment Regulations Act, 2025. In crime news, Nairobi County's Chief Environment Officer warned about thieves in the Central Business District posing as police officers after a suspect was arrested with National Police Service handcuffs. Separately, a 28-year-old Kenyan man has been indicted in the United States for international money laundering of COVID-19 relief funds, allegedly channeling the money into Nairobi construction projects.
