The National Gender and Equality Commission (NGEC) is demanding a review of police recruitment and training policies after the dismissal of pregnant recruits from the National Police Service Training College in Kiganjo sparked public controversy.

• NGEC Chairperson Rehema Jaldesa highlighted significant policy gaps in handling pregnancy and physiological conditions within the country's disciplined services.
• The National Police Service (NPS) clarified that the pregnant recruits were already expecting before reporting for training, and their pregnancies were not due to misconduct.
• The commission stressed that the State lacks a clear, lawful, proportionate, humane, and non-discriminatory framework for managing such situations, potentially violating constitutional protections against discrimination based on sex and pregnancy.
