County Public Accounts Committee (CAPC) is calling for strong partnership with the National Police Service (NPS) in fulfilling its mandate.
Speaking after meeting with the Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja, the Committee’s Chairperson Senator Moses Kajwang inquired on various ways the partnership can be implemented in order to ensure that the collaboration bears the expected results.
Senator Kajwang highlighted cases where county officials have failed to appear before the committee when required to as well as the need to investigate cases of resources misappropriation by counties by the service.
The Committee’s Chair reiterated the critical role that the NPS play in easing the work of the County Public Accounts Committee.
The IG in his response assured that the NPS will work closely with the committee to ensure that it achieves its oversight work mandate.
