The government on Friday rolled out a massive leadership training programme for chiefs and assistant chiefs meant to enhance capacity and ensure service delivery to the public.
Through the Ministry of Interior and National Administration, the training is in line with President William Ruto’s commitment to modernise and reform the security sector to align it with the current challenges.
Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen today officially launched the training of the first cohort of 1,000 officers drawn from the 47 counties, part of the 8,102 officers at National Police College Embakasi ‘A’ Campus.
The three-week intense course is expected to equip the trainees with paralegal and security management skills to tackle emerging issues and ensure better coordination of government services at the grassroots.
The CS noted that some of the officers are taking the course after 25 years in service, thanks to the feedback during the counties’ security tours dubbed ‘Jukwaa la Usalama’.
The officers who have successfully gone through the training will immediately be promoted, unlocking the delays witnessed over the years in incompliance with the Public Service Commission (PSC) requirement.
