The National Police Service Commission held nation

-wide stakeholders’ engagement forums to present

the draft policies for the National Police Service

(NPS) that will provide focus in the running of the

Service. The members who attended the forum

were drawn from both the Commission and the

Service.

The NPSC Chairperson, Mr Kavuludi officially

opened the forums in Nairobi expressed that the

policy formulation started 3 years ago.

The nationwide stakeholders’ forums drew repre-

sentatives from Government Ministries, Independ-

ent Commissions, Civil Society, Institutions of High-

er Learning and other professionals and Religious

Institutions.

There were six policies up for presentation during

the forums which included:

Training Policy: The NPS Training Policy focuses on

the obligation of the NPS to train its staff so as to

transform the NPS law enforcement to an inves-

tigative institution. Its purpose is to harmonize

and standardize training in the NPS with its val-

ues embedded in justice, integrity, accountabil-

ity, openness and civility.

Welfare Policy: The purpose of this policy is to ad-

dress the concerns of the members of the ser-

vice by putting in place mechanisms for en-

hancing motivation, retention, professionalism

and job satisfaction. This includes housing,

health, recreation and employee assistance pro-

grams. The health guideline purposes to have a

comprehensive medical cover for police service;

time to bond with the adopted children, decent

housing, a conducive environment, training

programs, police libraries and pre-retirement

training.

Housing Policy: The draft policy provides for the

management of housing in the National Police

Service with a focus on provision, housing

standards, allocation and maintenance of hous-

ing in the National Police Service that are nec-

essary to ensure there is decent housing for

members of the Service. It purposes to establish

a Directorate of Housing for the NPS.

Chaplaincy Policy: Its primary purpose is to provide

spiritual support and encouragement to mem-

bers of the service and their families while the

secondary purpose is to provide spiritual sup-

port, comfort and assistance to the community.

It also seeks to promote moral values and integ-

rity. The draft policy has administered

protestant, catholic and Islamic chaplaincy

which will serve as an advisory body to the In-

spector general.

Policy on Conflict of Interest: The policy seeks to

provide guidance to members of the NPS on

dealing with conflict of interest, it taps on eth-

ics. Officers are not to engage in activities that

will bring conflict with their professional re-

sponsibilities. The officers are to declare inter-

ests that are likely to interfere with their work

and none shall award themselves contracts or

receive gifts. It also focuses on political engage-

ments of officers as it opposes political partici-

pation but seeks political neutrality. It also pro-

vides that no officer should act or be used to act

by others. Monitoring and evaluation of this

policy will be done by the Inspector General.

Guidelines for Engagement in Trade and Business:

These guidelines provide procedures on how mem-

bers of the NPS may seek approval to engage in

business and trade activities. These guidelines work

hand in hand with the conflict of interest policy.

The general rules of these guidelines are that offic-

ers should not engage in activities that interfere

with work or negatively impact the reputation of

the Service.

OUTSTANDING POLICE WOMAN SCALING THE HEIGHTS IN ACADEMIC EXCELLENCY

Chief Inspector (CI) of police Lilian Akelo Obura, recently broke the record after she scored a mean grade of 87 points, the overall highest score never recorded in all the Senior Training Courses in Police Administration that have been done at the Ad-ministration Police Senior Staff College -Emali located in Makueni County.

The Administration Police Ward Commander (APWC) attached at Kangemi ward, Westlands Sub County was at the time undertaking the Senior Training Course to qualify her to be considered for promotion to an Assistant Superintended of police.

CI Lilian Akelo speaks of her journey in academics Excel-lency

What other academic awards

have you received in the po-

lice service?

In 2002 after the initial nine months of police training I emerged the best in academic and I was awarded by the then president Daniel Toroit-ich Arap Moi during the passing out parade gradua-tion ceremony held at the Administration Police Train-ing College (APTC) in Emba-kasi

In 2008, during the annual

Excellence Award I was also

honored for outstanding per-

formance.

What is it that always make

you stand out in academics?

It is being committed and do-

ing my best whenever I get

an opportunity. The recogni-

tion by the then president

Moi was motivating that if I

could do it at that level then I

needed to keep the consisten-

cy.

Above all my success is

through the grace of God,

Support and prayers from my

parents who gave me a

strong base founded on val-

ues and good morals.

What qualification did you

join the police service and

what motivated you to join

the police service?

I joined the Police Service in

2001 with a KCSE certificate

which I did at Migingo Girls

high school in 1999 and at-

tained a mean grade of C+. I

now have a bachelor degree

in Peace and conflict studies

from Africa Nazarene Uni-

versity.

I was encouraged to join the

service because it was a

unique recruitment. For the

first time the Administration

Police force as it was known

by then was recruiting fe-

male recruits from the dis-

trict level.

How did you get back to

school after becoming a po-

lice officer?

I had the privilege of being

Chief Inspector Lilian Akelo Obura


Page 13

sponsored by the National Police Service to do

short courses like, middle level management ,

effective communication, Information Technol-

ogy among others which helped me progress

quite well as I upgraded my skills and exposed

myself to diverse ideas in policing.

I was also highly influenced by the personali-

ties I interacted with at work who tapped and

nurtured the potential in me and this I attrib-

ute to Mr. Lesasuiyan R. HSC SSP- Adjutant

APTC, Mr. I. A. Hassan HSC - APTC and CIP Te-

resa Ngetich of Embaksi Sub-county.

It was from this point that I developed a differ-

ent world view and decided to advance my ed-

ucation to a higher level.

In 2014 I sponsored myself and upgraded my

academic credentials to a Bachelor of Arts in

peace and conflict studies and graduated in

2016.

Going back to school how did you decide to

study peace and conflict?

Peace and conflict study is in line with my pro-

fession as a police officer as stipulated in the

NPS Act 2011 section 27 on Functions of Ad-

ministration Police Service.

I choose to study peace and conflict as I looked

at the relevance to my work because in my

roles I have a responsibility to support the gov-

ernment in managing conflict and peace keep-

ing.

I am also passionate in promoting culture of

peace in the society.

What impact does upgrading level of education

have to Police officers?

Education keeps officers updated to new regu-

lations that have come in place and the chang-

ing ways of policing. We need to be conver-

sant of not only our laws but international

standards as well.

Policing also needs intelligence and wisdom;

we must interact diversely and develop a cul-

ture of reading. We cannot expand our IQ

when we remain stagnant.

From your experience and coming from a

humble beginning how can other officers ad-

vance in education, where can they start?

They should first give themselves time to work

and get experience and exposure of what po-

licing involves. When they enroll to higher

learning institutions they will have known

what area they need to improve or upgrade on.

It will be a mature decision.

Doing a relevance course will motivate you

and you will be doing what you already have

experience in as well as help you advance in

your work.

What advice would you give to fellow officers?

Education is a blue print of what you want in

life as It equips you with the right knowledge

to enhance your skills. Besides combining it

with professionalism, talent and passion can

push anybody to greater heights

The most valuable asset of an organization is its human resource. Human capital is key to achieving organization mission and there-fore the need to obtain, maintain and retain human capital with the right skills, knowledge, attitude and competenc for ef-fective service delivery.

This is according to the Director Human Capital Management at the National Police Service Commission (NPSC) Mrs. Christine Rotich.

Speaking to Mrs. Rotich on the strides her department has made since the inception of the commission, she expressed satisfaction with how the commission has progressed by putting in place clear guidelines and regula-tions for its officers.

She noted that as a Directorate they were working towards cultivating a culture that is performance oriented by setting clear goals and objectively evaluating officers both at the Commission and National Police Service (NPS)

Mrs. Rotich revealed that the Commission has put in place the National Police Service Commission Staff House Mortgage Scheme to facilitate staff to acquire already con-

structed house(s) or develop house(s) on their duly acquired land

She said the objective of the Scheme shall be to provide a loan Scheme for members of staff for purchase of an existing residential property, construction, renovation and im-provement of an existing residential proper-ty, takeover of loans on existing Mortgages or equity release. A staff Mortgage Advisory Committee has also been established to oversee the imple-mentation and administration of the Scheme. While appreciating the work of the officers at the National Police Service Commission, the Director acknowledged that officers are exposed to harsh conditions in their line of duty hence the need to establish a referral and counselling center unit which will deal with the psycho social needs of the officers. She appreciated other line Directorates which have contributed to the success of her directorate. She emphasized the commitment of the Commission to see a staff that is happy by appreciating the work they do.
