The planned recruitment of 10,000 police constables and officers was yesterday halted again by the High Court following a petition challenging the Inspector General of Police’s (IG) constitutional authority to conduct the exercise.
Justice Bahati Mwamuye issued a conservatory order temporarily suspending the notice of recruitment issued by the National Police Service under IG Douglas Kanja on 4 November 2025, pending the hearing and determination of a petition filed by UK-based activist Eliud Matindi.
