Rights body wants police recruitment cancelled

Nairobi, Kenya: The National Police Service Commission (NPSC) should not be involved in investigating the controversial police recruitment, the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) has said.

"It places the commission as a judge, jury and executioner in its own case. Such a shallow audit cannot redeem an irredeemably flawed recruitment exercise," KNCHR said in a joint statement with the Police Reforms Working Group-Kenya (PRWG-K).
