KENYA: The national joint recruitment of more than 7,000 police trainees kicked off Thursday morning with an announcement it will be done over 24 hours to prevent corruption and block aspirants from applying at several centres.
Recruits will be asked if they want to join the Administration or Kenya Police before they are allowed to join the colleges in December.
The National Police Service Commission announced it will take place at all the 286 district headquarters, to pave way for a 15-month training programme at the Administration Police Training College, Embakasi, and Kiganjo Police College, Nyeri.
This is after the completion of the national exams and it will be the first time to be conducted by the newly created commission.
Commission chairman Johnston Kavuludi said the recruits must apply for the vacancies by filling forms at the centres, and those successful will be informed today.
The recruitment would supplement the police population ahead of the 2013 General Election, during which security agencies anticipate an upsurge in criminal activity.
