The National Police Service (NPS) has declared an indefinite halt to the nationwide police recruitment initiative that was set to commence on Friday, October 3, due to a conservatory order issued by the Employment and Labour Relations Court.

  In a statement released on Thursday, NPS Spokesperson Muchiri Nyaga indicated that the Service was obligated to adhere to the court’s directive as outlined in Petition No. E196 of 2025 (Harun Mwau v. Inspector General of Police, the National Police Service Commission & 2 Others).

This suspension follows the granting of interim conservatory orders by Lady Justice Hellen Wasilwa, which halted the recruitment process pending the resolution of a petition submitted by former legislator John Harun Mwau. The petition questions the legality of the proposed recruitment, which aimed to enlist 10,000 police officers from October 3 to 9 across all counties. Justice Wasilwa instructed the respondents—the Inspector General of Police and the National Police Service Commission (NPSC)—to submit their responses within seven days, after which the petitioner will also have seven days to provide additional affidavits and written arguments. October 21 hearing The judge has scheduled a mention of the matter for October 21 to verify compliance and discuss submissions. This ruling was issued just a day after Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja and NPSC Chairperson Amani Yuda Komora jointly addressed officers at the National Police College, Embakasi ‘A’ Campus, emphasizing the importance of a transparent, credible, and merit-based recruitment process.
