Inspector-General of Police Joseph Boinnet has
directed controversial police recruits to report to their respective
training institutions on April 12.
President Uhuru
Kenyatta issued a directive that some 10,000 youngsters, who had been
picked to join the police, should be admitted to the college immediately
following the terrorist attack at Garissa University College.
“In
compliance with the directive of the President that the young Kenyans
who had been recruited to join the National Police Service do so without
further delay, I hereby inform all those who had been successfully
recruited to report to their training institutions on Sunday, 12th
April,” read a statement signed by Mr Boinett.
The
recruitment of the lot to join the police force was stopped by the High
Court because it was marred by corruption and many other irregularities.
The government has been accused of knee-jack reactions during times of crisis.
