Families of Kenyan police officers killed or injured in the line of duty are allegedly being scammed out of insurance compensation, with KSh220 million still owed. The National Police Service (NPS) leadership is under scrutiny from the National Assembly’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) over significant delays in these payouts.

• An Auditor-General’s report revealed KSh220 million in unpaid compensation to families.
• The National Police Service (NPS) Accounting Officer, Bernice Lemedeket, attributed delays to funding challenges from the national exchequer affecting premium payments.
• Aldai MP Mary Kitany and PAC Chairman Tindi Mwale pressured officials, with Mwale suggesting recent settlements were due to committee pressure, not voluntary NPS action.
