Inspector-General of Police Douglas Kanja has received a major reprieve after the High Court lifted the conservatory orders that had halted the recruitment of 100,000 police officers scheduled for Monday, November 17, 2025.

Justice Bahati Mwamuye on Friday set aside the earlier orders blocking the IG from conducting the exercises following an urgent application filed by the National Police Service, paving the way for the nationwide recruitment exercise to proceed as planned.
