Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has sent all chiefs to the National Police College for mandatory training.
Speaking during the launch of the programme at the National Police College Embakasi ‘A’ Campus, CS Murkomen announced that all 8,102 chiefs and assistant chiefs will undergo a three-week intensive course in paralegal studies and security management.
He stated that the initiative aligns with President William Ruto’s vision to modernise the security sector and make it more responsive to the country’s evolving challenges under the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA).
“It’s unbelievable that the last time chiefs and assistant chiefs attended a course of this kind was in 2018. Today, we’re not just launching a training course — we’re opening a new chapter in grassroots governance and national security,” said Murkomen.

Additionally, Murkomen stated that the programme is meant to enhance capacity and ensure service delivery to the public.
“This induction, paralegal and security management training is a strategic upgrade of our grassroots administration. The course will empower you with legal knowledge, strategic thinking and modern security tools,” added Murkomen.

The three-week intensive course is expected to equip the trainees with paralegal and security management skills to tackle emerging issues and ensure better coordination of government services at the grassroots.
Murkomen stated that he was surprised when it emerged that there are chiefs and assistant chiefs who have not gone through the training since 1983. He noted that some officers are taking the course after 25 years in service, thanks to feedback from the counties’ security tours, dubbed ‘Jukwaa la Usalama’.
Several Chiefs to be Promoted After Successful Completion of Training
Murkomen further stated that there will be promotions of chiefs and assistant chiefs upon successful completion of their training, unlocking the delays witnessed over the years in compliance with the Public Service Commission (PSC) requirement.
“We have also had fruitful engagements with the PSC in ensuring career progression for our officers. This year alone, 87 chiefs and 58 assistant chiefs have been promoted to higher job groups. At the end of this training, we will also be able to process your promotions as well.”
