EACC and IPOA to Oversee Police Recruitment Amid Transparency Directives - September 2025

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) will oversee the upcoming police recruitment in Kenya to ensure transparency and fairness. This intervention follows a dispute with the National Police Service Commission (NPSC). Inspector General of Police Kanja has vowed that the recruitment will be entirely transparent and warned that corrupt individuals will face jail. To further ensure public oversight, CS Murkomen has directed that all recruitment be conducted during daylight hours. The government has also doubled its budget for police recruitment from the initial allocation for 5,000 officers, with plans for further increases.
