Thousands to miss out as polic
The minimum entry point for police recruits has been raised. The entry point into the force will be a C- (minus) up from the previous D+ (plus).
This means that thousands of prospective candidates will be locked out of the recruitment exercise that kicks off on Monday in some parts of the country.
Officers at Vigilance House explained that raising of the entry point was aimed at getting the best recruits in the force.
"We know many will be locked out, but the police force should be a professional body that attracts the best," said an officer.
The exercise is a repeat after Commissioner of Police Maj Gen Hussein Ali, nullified the earlier one in Janaury, following claims of widespread irregularities.
Out of the 3,000 recruits, 600 will be women, the highest since the force was set up. Initially, President Kibaki had announced that the force would recruit 4,000 officers being double the number of the past exercise. This, he said, was to ensure there was a 20 per cent representation of women.
The number was reduced after it was established that there were limited resources to cater for the increase in the numbers. Some of the recruits were to be taken to Kiganjo Police Training College, GSU Embakasi College and Kenya Wildlife Service’s Gilgil barracks.
Ali acted after the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission director Justice Aaron Ringera tabled evidence of the alleged corruption during the recruitment exercise. Ringera said 80 per cent of the recruitment exercise was marred with corruption and asked that it be cancelled.
Ali also suspended the recruiting officers pending investigations. He protested Ringera’s evidence and sent the files of the cases to the Attorney General’s office.
Ali announced fresh recruitment dates last week months after Ringera killed the hopes of 3,000 recruits who had qualified. Ringera demanded that the entire exercise be nullified without prejudice to any other action that may be taken against the officers implicated in the malpractice.
And unlike in the past when Ali briefed recruiting officers, those who will participate in the exercise were not inducted.
But he warned in an advert that any form of canvassing in the exercise would lead to automatic disqualification of candidates.
