Interior and National Administration Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen spent Labour Day visiting police officers injured in the line of duty who are undergoing treatment at Nairobi West Hospital.
Nine officers sustained injuries in the fight against crime in various parts of the country while one was injured in Haiti.
Murkomen also revealed that five police officers had died in recent operations across the country.
Our security officers sacrifice a lot to keep us safe and secure, and they need our support,” said the CS who was flanked by Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja, DIG (KPS) Eliud Lagat and DIG(APS) Gilbert Masengeli among other senior security officials.
He added that the Government is committed to improving the welfare of police officers through various reforms which include better working conditions and pay as well as enhanced medical care.
Commenting on the Ang’ata Barrikoi incident, the CS said all senior police officers and the Transmara South Deputy County Commissioner had been moved to pave the way for investigations.
“The Government will also support officers and civilians who were either killed or injured during the conflict,” he said.
Regarding the shooting of Kasipul MP Charles Ong’ondo Were, the CS said investigations were in top gear to bring the killers to book.
