Interior Cabinet Secretary (CS) Kithure Kindiki has announced the immediate and mandatory transfer of police officers who have served in one police station for over three years.
In a statement issued on Friday, March 8, Kindiki noted that all the officers be moved to other stations immediately.
Explaining the decision, Kindiki noted that the Ministry has decided to implement the policy to eliminate conflict of interest.
“The 3-year transfer policy must apply mandatorily for all Police Officers Countrywide. Beginning this morning, all Police Officers who have served in one station for more than three years will be transferred to eliminate conflict of interest, guard against internal sabotage and enhance service delivery in the security sector,” Kindiki stated.

Kindiki first announced the mandatory transfer policy on Wednesday, April 12 while appearing before the National Assembly. However, the implementation was halted.
“As a policy, we will ensure that no police officer, of whatever rank, will serve in one police station for more than three years. If you have served in a police station for three years, it is time to go,” the Interior CS said.
In the latest transfer directive, Kindiki argued that it would help combat the manufacture, sale, consumption and abuse of illicit liquor and narcotic drugs.
“Unlike past operations that were hampered by competing political and commercial interests, the ongoing exercise is a security operation to tackle a national threat and devoid of politics,” he stated.
