The National Police Service (NPS) has publicly disavowed calls by a junior officer to reduce the recruitment of female police officers, stating that the remarks are personal and do not reflect the government's position. The NPS emphasized the critical role women play in policing and reaffirmed its commitment to gender representation.

• The Officer Commanding Station (OCS), Isaac Kimutus of Nyahururu, suggested that women were unable to handle volatile situations like the June 25 and July 7, 2025 Gen Z protests, claiming some "vomited in their helmets."
• Kimutus proposed scaling down future female recruitment to 20 percent, with the rest being men.
• Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen and Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja dismissed the remarks, reiterating the constitutional requirement for gender representation in public service.
