Main Story
President William Ruto has nominated Dr. Amani Yuda Komora as Chairperson of the National Police Service Commission (NPSC). Komora, a seasoned HR expert and former Vice Chair of the Salaries and Remuneration Commission, brings vast public service experience to his new role. His appointment now awaits parliamentary approval.
Alongside Komora, six commissioners have also been nominated to form the new-look NPSC. They include Angeline Yiamiton Siparo, a youth and health advocate with global experience, as well as Edwin Cheluget, Benjamin Juma Imai, Peris Muthoni Kimani, and Professor Collette A. Suda.
While some have already been vetted and approved, others like Siparo and Cheluget will be subjected to parliamentary scrutiny before assuming office.
The NPSC is tasked with managing personnel in the National Police Service. Its responsibilities include recruitment, promotions, transfers, and handling disciplinary issues within the police ranks. The commission plays a key role in ensuring accountability, professionalism, and integrity across the service.
The new appointments are seen as part of President Ruto’s broader plan to implement the recommendations of the Maraga Taskforce on Police and Prison Reforms. There are high expectations that the incoming team will work closely with oversight bodies like IPOA and EACC to restore public trust in law enforcement.
