POLICE OFFICER DEMOTED TO THE RANK OF ASP AFTER ASSAULTING TWO JUNIOURS

Former Ruiru Sub-County Police Commander Stanley Mutunga has been demoted to the rank of Assistant Superintendent over an incident where he reportedly assaulted two police constables in his office in 2019.

The officer is said to have physically assaulted the junior officers while he was OCPD Ruiru in Kiambu County.

The officers filed a complaint with the Internal Affairs Unit thus prompting an inquiry.

The investigations have since found the senior officer culpable,with the unit recommending that the Inspector General of Police (IG) initiate stern disciplinary action against him for violating the eighth schedule of the National Police Service (NPS) Act and the Service Standing Orders (SSO).

The IG,on receipt of the file,petitioned the NPS Commission to constitute a national disciplinary committee as required by law and further conduct disciplinary trials against the officer.

During the administrative trials,investigators testified before the committee and provided evidence which led to his demotion,as seen in a memo from the police headquarters.

Your idea of police officers marrying themselves is not a solution, instead:
Listen sir,infact if I was you,I could encourage them to marry,sign through your office that they’re couples,given same work station.
Police don’t have an issue with marriage, the problem comes from depression as a result of poor pay and poor housing,poor working conditions, mass transfers etc.
Do you expect a police earning 25k sustain his/her family?remember they have no single time to invest as much as they could,they work work work.
Long working hours and transfers affect their closeness and good relationships with their spouses,which result to them engaging in other side relationships and when leaks it results in social based fights and even deaths.
Don’t fight marriages,fight to better these people lives..
Depression is killing them 😢💔
I’m sorry to lecture you Daktari😞

YOU CAN’T MARRY YOUR JUNIOR SAYS MATIANGI

Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr. Fred Matiang’i has said the ministry will craft rules barring police officers from engaging in romantic relations with their colleagues.

The minister says the move is meant to avert marital
murders.
Matiang’i spoke on Friday, April 30 at the Kenya Police
Training College in Kiganjo, Nyeri County during the
induction of new police recruits.
“We are scaling up the management practice of the police
service,” he said.

“We have to adopt a new way [of doing things]. We will
create a new gender relations office that will be under the
supervision of the Inspector General of Police. Some of the
female police officers have filed sexual harassment
complaints. I want to assure you that it won’t happen in the
future,” added the CS.
Matiang’i said his ministry is concerned by the rising
numbers of National Police Service officers killing their
loved ones who are also in the forces.
“We will adopt a system similar to that of the Kenya
Defence Forces (KDF) which bars the soldiers from getting
into intimate relationships with their colleagues. Moving
forward, it will be illegal for a police officer to date or get
married to a fellow law enforcement officer. If it happens
that two police officers fall in love, then one has to leave
the Service,” he said.

The CS also warned high-ranking police officers against
sexually harassing their juniors, stating the senior cops
would be stripped of titles and, thereafter, sacked.
“We won’t talk much moving forward, we will act,” he
emphasised.
The CS, however, said police officers who are already
married to their colleagues won’t be affected by the new
directive.
The minister also put the media on the spot, claiming
journalists often paint police officers in bad light.
