A former spokesman of the National Police Service, Eric Kiraithe, criticized the past performance of the National Police Service Commission (NPSC) and called on the third NPSC commission to uphold its constitutional mandate.

• The NPSC was established to ensure fair pay, equitable deployment, meritocracy in promotions, professional management, protection of institutional integrity, and officer welfare for police.
• Past commissions have been accused of undermining discipline and morale through patronage, such as promoting friends and family.
• Officers championed the creation of the NPSC, expecting reforms that address chronic wage stagnation, poor housing, and lack of training.
• The current state of the police, marked by worn-out uniforms and poor facilities, risks eroding public trust and fostering insecurity.
