Ahead of Monday's police recruitment drive for 10,000 constable positions, a new report by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has revealed widespread irregularities in the hiring process. The report highlights bribery, political interference, and outdated manual procedures as systemic issues undermining police recruitment across various cadres.

• EACC’s study, conducted from February 10 to June 13, found regulations were frequently ignored.
• The National Police Service (NPS) consistently uses flawed practices for recruiting constables, cadets, specialists, and civilian staff.
• Recommendations include fast-tracking an HR Policy and Procedures Manual and setting up complaint desks at recruitment centers.
