The Kenya National Police Service has announced 7,000 vacancies
for recruits as it moves to beef up the capacity of law enforcement
officers in the run-up to the March General Election.
This will be the second batch of recruits that
will be trained under the new curriculum which increased the course
period from nine to 15 months and raised the entry bar for those seeking
to join the service.
The employer, the newly-established National
Police Service Commission, says 4,000 of the successful applicants would
be posted to the Kenya Police and the others to the Administration
Police.
“The National Police Service Commission seeks to
recruit suitable and qualified candidates who satisfy the provision of
the Constitution, the enabling Acts and the additional criteria to be
trained as Police Constables,” said Johnston Kavuludi, the chairperson
of NPSC.
