Vetting of senior police officers at the coast resumes on Friday after it was disrupted by last year’s attacks in Lamu County.
National
Police Service Commission chairman Johnson Kavuludi said the vetting of
at least 74 officers in the ranks of OCPD and OCS would be concluded on
Monday.
“We had to call it off last year when the
attacks broke out so as to give the officers time to concentrate on
dealing with the situation. Vetting of these officers will determine
their suitability to serve in the service depending on their competence
and skills,” he said.
MPEKETONI ATTACKS
The
attacks in Mpeketoni and other parts of Lamu County that were carried
out by suspected Al-Shabaab militants left more than 60 people dead.
Mr
Kavuludi, who was addressing journalists at Mombasa County Commissioner
Nelson Marwa’s office, said the commissioners would hold an orientation
for members of the interviewing panel, who have never participated in
past vetting, today.
He said officers found to serve will be moved to new ranks that were gazetted late last year.
