The National Police Service (NPS) has announced the indefinite suspension of the nationwide police recruitment exercise that was scheduled to begin Friday following a conservatory order issued by the Employment and Labour Relations Court.
In a statement released Thursday, NPS Spokesperson Muchiri Nyaga said the Service was compelled to comply with the court’s directive issued in Petition No. E196 of 2025.
The suspension comes after Lady Justice Hellen Wasilwa granted interim conservatory orders halting the exercise, pending determination of a petition filed by former legislator John Harun Mwau.
The petition challenges the legality of the planned exercise, which sought to recruit 10,000 police officers between October 3rd and 9thacross all counties
