The National Police Service (NPS) has defended dismissing 18 pregnant female recruits from the Kiganjo police college, refuting claims of conception during training.

• 18 pregnant recruits were dismissed after mandatory early-stage medical screenings.
• The National Police Service (NPS) stated dismissals were in line with standing orders due to risks during physically demanding training.
• The decision has drawn criticism from political leaders, who questioned dismissing recruits instead of deferring their training.
