Inspector-General of Police Douglas Kanja has approved the promotion of 1,948 police officers following a Court of Appeal decision that affirmed his authority over the management of uniformed officers. The promotions were announced by the National Police Service (NPS) on October 19, following the dismissal of appeals by the National Police Service Commission (NPSC) and the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) challenging the judgment that limited the commission’s powers over sworn police officers.
The Court of Appeal ruled that the Inspector-General’s independent command over the Service, including decisions concerning the employment, assignment, promotion, suspension, and dismissal of uniformed officers, was protected by the Constitution.
