    "content": "commissioner with members drawn from the Inspector-General’s Office, the Administration Police Service, the Kenya Police Service and the Directorate of Criminal Investigation. The Committee presented its proposal to the Commission’s Board that sat on 22nd March, 2016. Pursuant to Section 10(2) of the National Police Service Commission Act, the Board directed that the actual recruitment exercise should be delegated to the Inspector General who by use of the staff under him, would carry out recruitment in the 331 centres. The delegation instrument was communicated to the Inspector General (IG) of Police through our letter Ref. No. NPSC/1/3/12 Vol.4 Folio 39 of 29th March, 2016. The Commission subsequently issued Circular No.NPSC/1/2/016, giving guidelines on how the exercise should be carried out. It is also important to note that the National Police Service Commission (NPSC) Recruitment and Appointment Regulations, 2015 are in place and were expected to be followed. Besides these arrangements, the National Recruitment Committee was extensively involved in monitoring the recruitment exercise by sending commissioners and members of their secretariat to the field to oversee the preparations and the actual recruitment. Secondly, is the analysis of the recruitment results. The names of shortlisted candidates were submitted to the Office of the IG by the recruitment panels from the 331 centres for verification, determination of successful candidates based on availability of vacancies and subsequent announcement. The analysis and verification was carried out by a secretariat appointed by the IG. Thirdly, is whether some candidates were dropped. The Commission has received a number of complaints from some applicants who claim that they were successful but did not receive notification to join college. The Commission has launched investigations and if the allegations are found to be true, corrective measures will be taken to ensure that such applicants are not disadvantaged. We shall also endeavour to submit a comprehensive report once the IG has forwarded his final report to the Commission. Finally, is publishing of the names of successful candidates. At the time of recruitment, the Commission was still awaiting Parliament to approve the revised budget estimate and as such, there were no resources either at the Commission or at the Ministry of Information and Communication to meet the high cost of publishing 10,000 names. However, once the Commission receives the final report from the IG, we shall publish the names on the Commission’s website in order to comply with the constitutional provision. I have attached copies of the Commission Regulations, the Delegation Instrument and the Recruitment Guidelines for your ease of reference. I trust that the explanations will assist the Committee Chairperson to address Sen. Njoroge’s concerns. I have guidelines attached to the response which is ready for his perusal."
