Former Chief Justice David Maraga has warned that a partisan police force could lead to post-election chaos, urging President William Ruto to adhere to the Constitution and implement police reforms.

• Maraga released the recommendations of a 2023 taskforce he chaired, stating a partisan police force was a root cause of the 2007/2008 post-election violence.
• Key recommendation: The National Police Service (NPS) must be independent to dismantle the colonial police system and end state capture.
• The taskforce's report, submitted on November 16, 2023, remains largely unimplemented, despite recent statements from the Interior Ministry about a strategic framework.
