- The National Police Service (NPS) has dismissed 54 recruits from the National
Police Training College, Kiganjo, after uncovering cases of pregnancy, forged
documents and criminal records among trainees.
Commandant of the Kiganjo Campus, Munga Nyale, confirmed the
dismissals during the Basic Recruit Training Course progress assessment held on
Thursday, May 7th.
He revealed that the integrity of the recruitment process
had been compromised, prompting the termination of training for the affected
individuals.
According to official data, 18 female recruits were sent
home due to pregnancy and related issues, while another 18 were dismissed for
presenting forged academic certificates.
Ten others were found to have previous criminal convictions,
disqualifying them from service.
In addition, two trainees allegedly used forged
identification documents, two were removed on health grounds, and three were
disqualified for disciplinary violations.
One trainee voluntarily withdrew due to serious illness.
Nyale, who serves as Senior Assistant Inspector General of
Police, emphasized that the dismissed recruits had initially passed the
competitive recruitment exercise conducted in November 2025.
However, subsequent vetting revealed violations that
undermined the credibility of the process.
