Former Chief Justice David Maraga has publicly released a long-awaited Police Reforms Report, citing a nearly three-year delay since it was handed to President William Ruto on November 16, 2023. He emphasized the critical need to restore the National Police Service's independence.

• The report's central finding is that the National Police Service "must be independent" and protected from political interference, a "constitutional command."
• Key recommendations include repealing the Security Laws (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act of 2014, which Maraga argues weakened safeguards for appointing senior police commanders.
• Maraga also raised concerns about extending the tenure of senior police officers beyond retirement age and linked partisan policing to recent political violence.
