Inside police transfers, a melting pot of corruption

[ATTACH=full]89775[/ATTACH] The “immediate former” Director of Personnel Stanley Kimaiyo Lamai, Assistant Inspector General (AIG), proceeded on his terminal leave (74 days) on March 17, 2017.
According to the Police Headquarters, his leave was to end on June 30, 2017 after which he was to proceed on his retirement.
On Saturday March 18, he went back to his former office on 3rd floor Vigilance House and transferred about 100 officers. The transfers have since been revoked.
However, the devil is in the detail.
Some of the officers had taken loan and paid up to Sh100,000 for them to be transferred to certain stations/departments. And that is what has been happening at the Personnel directorate from time immemorial. #utumishi kwa wote(wenye pesa) Mkubwa amekanyagiwa na wakubwa wenzake, amekula kama 5Mil na transfers zikawa revoked

[SIZE=5]About NPSC[/SIZE]
The National Police Service Commission (NPSC) is one of the independent commissions established under Chapter Fifteen of the Constitution 2010. The Commission is established under Article 246 of the Constitution. It took over, among other functions, the human resource management function of the Police Service, that previously was being handled by the Public Service Commission. The establishment of the National Police Service Commission to specifically oversee the human resource functions of the National Police Service is not only anchored in the Constitution, but also a culmination of findings and recommendations by various task forces appointed by the Government on the role of the Police in providing security and maintaining law and order. The Alston Report, Akiwumi Report, Waki Report and the Ransley Report pointed out that one of the critical areas that led to a dysfunctional police service was the manner in which the powers and functions of appointments, transfers, promotions and discipline were exercised. Among the recommendations of the Ransley task force was the delinking of the police from the Public Service Commission and the establishment of the Police Service Commission, dedicated to overseeing the human resource function of the Police Service. As stipulated in Article 246(2)(a), the Commission consists of nine (9) members, which include a person qualified to be appointed as a High Court Judge; two retired senior police officers; three persons of integrity who have served the public with distinction; the Inspector-General of the National Police Service and both Deputy Inspectors-General of the National Police Service. The NPSC became operational on 5th October 2012 after the appointment into office of six Commissioners through Gazette Notice N0. 95 of 3rd October, 2012. These comprised of the Chairman, Johnston Kavuludi; the Vice Chairperson, Esther Chui Colombini; Ronald Leposo Musengi; Mary Auma Owuor; Murshid. A. Mohamed and Dr. Maj. (Rtd) Shadrack Muiu. The office of the Vice Chairperson fell vacant following the demise of the Esther Chui Colombini in November 2013 and has not yet been filled. The Commission is in charge of human resource management of the National Police Service, which comprises the Kenya Police, the Administration Police and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations.

The Mandate of the National Police Service Commission
The NPSC derives its mandate from the Constitution of Kenya 2010. Article 246 (3) gives the Commission the mandate to:
[ol]
[li]Recruit and appoint persons to hold or act in office in the police service, confirm appointments and determine promotions and transfers within the National Police Service.[/li][li]Observing due process, exercise disciplinary control over and remove persons holding or acting in offices within the service[/li][li]Perform any other functions as prescribed by the national legislation.[/li][/ol]

Omwami redeployment is a temporary transfer which is done by a person in charge of transfers at Vigilance house, npsc is tasked with transfers but they’ve never undertaken that duty since its formation while redeployment ni kitu hufanyika Mara kwa mara.

Cannot dispute this. I’ve seen some take loans to bribe for training positions, which training is required prior to some promotions.

So basically we formed another useless commission just to pay people salary, allowances and conduct team building seminars.
