The Inspector General of Police, Douglas Kanja, has announced that the next round of police recruitment will be conducted entirely online. The move is aimed at enhancing transparency and fighting corruption within the recruitment process.
IG Kanja emphasized that the adoption of an online recruitment tool will significantly reduce opportunities for bribery and manipulation. He noted that the system will allow for fair vetting and selection based solely on merit.
“The online recruitment tool will help curb corruption that has long tainted our recruitment process,” Kanja said. “Only shortlisted candidates who meet the set qualifications will be invited to the physical field assessment.”
This marks a major shift from the traditional manual recruitment exercises, which have often faced criticism over allegations of favoritism and financial impropriety. The new digital approach is expected to streamline the recruitment process and restore public trust in the integrity of the National Police Service.
Kanja urged interested applicants to ensure their credentials are accurate and up to date when applying through the online portal, details of which will be made public soon.
The online recruitment initiative comes as part of broader reforms in the police service, targeting professionalism, accountability, and service delivery.
