Police Demand Reforms Beyond New Uniforms - August 2026

Kenyan police officers have begun wearing new uniforms unveiled by President William Ruto at the Kiganjo Police Training College, where he addressed recruits with a significant message regarding their responsibilities. However, Kenyan police are calling for significant reforms rather than superficial changes, emphasizing that new attire won't address underlying issues within the National Police Service. A company awarded the contract to manufacture these new uniforms has raised suspicions due to its registered address.
