Following a session with the National Assembly’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC), Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja has been directed to immediately transfer all accounting and human resource functions of the National Police Service (NPS) to the National Police Service Commission (NPSC).

• The PAC Chair, Butere MP Tindi Mwale, issued the order after lawmakers expressed anger over the police’s refusal to hand over key documents, including payroll details.
• The NPSC had previously claimed the police leadership was blocking its oversight role by denying access to critical payroll records, with NPSC CEO Peter Leley stating they were unable to verify if staffing and recruitment directives had been implemented.
• PAC instructed the NPSC CEO to confirm receipt of the documents within two weeks from the date of submission.
