Douglas Kanja promises major police reforms, body cams and anti-corruption drive
Nominee Inspector-General of the National Police Service Douglas Kanja Kirocho before the joint sittings of the National Assembly Committee on Administration and Internal Security and Senate Standing Committee on National Security, Defence & Foreign Relations.
Douglas Kanja, the career policeman President William Ruto wants to issue supreme orders to the service, is promising Kenyans sweeping reforms if approved by Parliament, including ensuring all police officers wear necessary uniforms before deployment.
"Mine is to ensure that whenever we are going for any type of deployment, people wear the necessary uniforms. We will reign in those who are not putting on the correct attires. It is an area that I am going to address. We know the regulations and how they should conduct themselves. Once approved, I will deal with it," he said Thursday during his vetting in Parliament.
