Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga and
Cord principal Moses Wetangula have accused the government of
frustrating the National Police Service Commission chairman Mr Johstone
Kavuludi.
The pair read mischief in recent developments where a human head was dumped outside Mr Kavuludi’s office in Nairobi saying it was part of a wide scheme to remove him from office.
“Mr
Kavuludi’s office was meant to ensure smooth functioning of the
National Police Service Commission as provided for in the constitution
but not to create friction in the police administration,” said Mr Odinga
in Butere district at the weekend.
Mr
Wetangula on his part argued that two bills aimed at undermining the
commission had been taken to the National Assembly in order to strip
Kavuludi of his powers and mandate.
“We
urge Kavuludi not to relent and warn the government to brace for tough
times ahead,” he said. He added that jubilee government was taking the
advantage of tyranny of numbers to violate the law.
Siaya
Senator James Orengo argued that Kavuludi saga was a serious matter
since his commission deals with critical issues related to not only
hiring of police officers but sanity in the police service.
“We
must stand our ground as leaders to prevent the government from
targeting civil servants from certain communities at the expense of
national integration,” he explained.
His
sentiments were echoed by Kakamega senator Bonni Khalwale and several
other MPs from Nyanza and Western regions present during the homecoming
party of Butere MP Andrew Toboso held at Butere girls.
