A report on police reforms recommended measures to protect the independence of the National Police Service, including transparent recruitment of commanders and junior officers, but it has largely been ignored, says former Chief Justice David Maraga.
Maraga, who chaired the task force that submitted its report to President Ruto in 2023, on Monday made public a copy of the document, cautioning that failure to implement the recommendations could leave the country in the hands of a partisan police force and trigger post-election chaos.
