The National Police Service
Commission (NPSC) has sacked seven senior police officers over graft, forgery
and human rights violations allegations.
When releasing results of
officers vetted in 2015, the NPSC withheld the results of 31 officers to
conduct further investigations.
Those found unsuitable for service include Senior Superintendents of police (SSP) Lawrence Martin Kariuki, William Meto Kiprotich, Joseph Kipkemoi Kemeli, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Peter Kemboi Chemos, Superintendents (SPs) Jackson Muriuki Magambo, Samuel Olentutu Olenkiti and Samuel Bore Kipwese.
Another officer Nelson Omwenga
Nyakundi will be subjected to disciplinary action for using certificates
that do not belong to him to get recruited.In October 2015, 63 senior police officers were sacked by the NPSC over
alleged corrupt dealings unearthed during a vetting exercise.
In the process carried out in
two phases last year, 1,364 top cops were vetted, with 1,272 being found
competent.
Results of 29 officers
remained pending to allow the commission conduct further investigations.
The commission’s chairman
Johnston Kavuludi said corruption was the main reason the 63 officers were sent
packing and cited a case where an OCPD was found with Mpesa transactions
of Ksh 7.7 million within 17 months.
Another officer, a constable,
was found to have transacted Ksh 3.1 million in 3 months through Mpesa.
Former administration police
spokesman Masoud Mwinyi was among the senior police officers sacked.

The officer was reportedly
demoted upon orders from Traffic Commandant Jacinta Muthoni, from
being a corporal to a constable. The move is said to have sparked
mixed rections within the police force with some demanding for
intervention by the Courts.
