On November 21, 2019, the National Police Service in Kenya made a significant move to maintain professionalism among its officers.
According to a confidential statement released by Assistant Inspector General of Police Edward Mbugua, uniformed police officers are no longer allowed to preach in public.
The decision aims to ensure that officers 'act appropriately' and separate their official duties from private engagements.
As per the statement, officers are encouraged to preach only within police institutions, such as colleges, and not while in uniform.
Additionally, police officers have been barred from attending church services while in uniform.
