Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has firmly rejected allegations of a parallel command structure within the National Police Service (NPS), dismissing them as "false propagandists." Speaking at the 59th Passing-Out Parade of the Administration Police Service recruits, Murkomen defended the police, expressing confidence in Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja's leadership. The government remains committed to supporting the NPS's independence from external interference, he emphasized.
