The National Assembly has confirmed six individuals to serve on the National Police Service Commission, marking the completion of a key parliamentary process.
Eliud Kinuthia has been appointed as the commission's chairperson, succeeding Johnston Kavuludi, whose six-year term concluded in October 2018. The appointments follow President Uhuru Kenyatta's nominations of Lilian Kiamba, Eusebius Laibuta, Naphtaly Rono, Alice Otwala, and John Ole Moyaki to the oversight body.
The commission's responsibilities include recruiting and appointing personnel for the National Police Service, determining promotions and transfers, enforcing disciplinary measures, and administering human resource functions as outlined in national legislation. Its authority stems from Chapter 15 of the Kenyan Constitution.
