Step-by-step explanation:
The recruitment discipline and dismissal of officers in Kenya should be handled by the National Police Service Commission (NPSC) and not solely by the Inspector General of the Kenya Police.
The NPSC is an independent body established under the Kenyan Constitution with a mandate to oversee the recruitment, discipline, and removal of officers within the National Police Service (NPS), which includes the Kenya Police Service. The Commission is also responsible for ensuring that the NPS operates in accordance with the Constitution and the law, and that officers are held accountable for any misconduct or criminal behavior.
Allowing the Inspector General to solely handle recruitment, discipline, and dismissal of officers could undermine the independence of the National Police Service Commission and potentially lead to political interference in the selection and management of police officers. This, in turn, could harm the overall effectiveness of the police force and lead to a lack of trust in the institution by the public.
Therefore, it is important that the NPSC be allowed to carry out its constitutional mandate without interference and with appropriate resources and support to ensure the recruitment, discipline, and dismissal of officers is carried out in a fair, transparent, and accountable manner.
