Police officers who do not have appointment letters will not be allowed in the service.
Mary Owuor, vice chairperson of the National Police Service Commission (NPSC), said the entry point of officers in the service is very crucial for the ongoing vetting process.
Owuor said the commission is very keen to ensure the officers appearing for vetting produce their appointment letters.
“The appointment letter is mandatory and the commission will not bend the rule,” she said.
She said the commission is focused on integrity, entry into the service, conduct while in service, human rights conduct and financial status.
Speaking at Tom Mboya Labour College in Kisumu, Owuor said the vetting is aimed at transforming the National Police Service.
She said 100 out of 108 officers have been vetted so far and the exercise is expected to come to an end tomorrow.
Owuor said the commission will then move to Garissa then to Nairobi, where they will stay for a month as there are many officers, including those who could not be vetted at the regional level.
She said the process is not meant to intimidate or discriminate against the officers.
Owuor said the commission is very transparent in discharging its mandates and will never occupy itself in witch-hunting.
