The National Police Service Commission (NPSC) is now cleared to proceed with the recruitment of 10,000 police officers after a petition challenging the process was withdrawn. The recruitment is scheduled to begin on Friday, October 3, and run until Thursday, October 9, across various gazetted centres nationwide.

• The petition, filed by Sheria Mtaani and activist Shadrach Wambui, questioned the recruitment's fairness and legality but was withdrawn due to the large number of youths relying on it for employment.
• Presiding Justice Lawrence Mugambi allowed the withdrawal, paving the way for the recruitment.
• Applicants must be Kenyan citizens between 18 and 28 years old, possess a Kenyan National ID, and have a minimum D+ grade in KCSE with at least a D in Kiswahili and English.
• Minimum height requirements are 5 feet, 8 inches for males and 5 feet, 3 inches for females, with no criminal record or pending charges.
• Female candidates must not be pregnant, and applicants need to present original and copies of academic certificates, ID, birth certificate, and if applicable, a NYS discharge certificate.

The Ministry of Public Service has announced a mass recruitment drive for drivers on permanent and pensionable terms, offering a basic salary of up to Ksh24,000 plus allowances. Eligible Kenyans are invited to apply through the Ministry's portal before October 22, 2025.

The National Police Service Commission (NPSC) has issued a supplementary document announcing updated and new recruitment centers for the ongoing police constable recruitment.

• Recruitment dates remain unchanged, but new centers have been added and some venues corrected across various counties, including Kitui, Wajir, Kiambu, and Nairobi.
