CLARIFICATION ON POLICE PROMOTION LETTERS

N ational Police Service Commission Chairman Johnstone Kavulundi
By Patricia Kebirungi
As of Tuesday, six officers are yet to receive their promotion letters.

Rift Valley Traffic boss Mary Omari, Fredrick Situma of the reforms department, Coast divisional commander Noah Mwivanda, Jane Kulalu and Police spokesperson Charles Owino are the six senior police officers whose promotion is in dispute.

Interior CS Joseph Nkaissery along with Boinnet and National Police Service Commission chairman, Johnstone Kavuludi, held a press brief earlier on Tuesday, stating that there was no wrangling over the police promotions and would review the promotions and harmonize the list before announcing to the public.

Nkaissery has however refuted claims that members of the commission are pulling in different directions due to vested interests and blamed it on communication breakdown.

The confusion exposed a cold working relationship between the commission and police headquarters.
