Service.

sentatives from Government Ministries, Independ-
ent Commissions, Civil Society, Institutions of High-

Institutions.
There were six policies up for presentation during
the forums which included:
Training Policy: The NPS Training Policy focuses on
the obligation of the NPS to train its staff so as to
transform the NPS law enforcement to an inves-
tigative institution. Its purpose is to harmonize
and standardize training in the NPS with its val-
ues embedded in justice, integrity, accountabil-
ity, openness and civility.
Welfare Policy: The purpose of this policy is to ad-
dress the concerns of the members of the ser-
vice by putting in place mechanisms for en-
hancing motivation, retention, professionalism
and job satisfaction. This includes housing,

time to bond with the adopted children, decent
housing, a conducive environment, training
programs, police libraries and pre-retirement
training.
Housing Policy: The draft policy provides for the
management of housing in the National Police
Service with a focus on provision, housing
standards, allocation and maintenance of hous-
ing in the National Police Service that are nec-
essary to ensure there is decent housing for
members of the Service. It purposes to establish
a Directorate of Housing for the NPS.
Chaplaincy Policy: Its primary purpose is to provide
spiritual support and encouragement to mem-
bers of the service and their families while the
secondary purpose is to provide spiritual sup-
port, comfort and assistance to the community.
It also seeks to promote moral values and integ-
rity. The draft policy has administered
protestant, catholic and Islamic chaplaincy
which will serve as an advisory body to the In-
spector general.
Policy on Conflict of Interest: The policy seeks to
provide guidance to members of the NPS on
dealing with conflict of interest, it taps on eth-
ics. Officers are not to engage in activities that
will bring conflict with their professional re-
sponsibilities. The officers are to declare inter-
ests that are likely to interfere with their work
and none shall award themselves contracts or
receive gifts. It also focuses on political engage-
ments of officers as it opposes political partici-
pation but seeks political neutrality. It also pro-
vides that no officer should act or be used to act
by others. Monitoring and evaluation of this
policy will be done by the Inspector General.
Guidelines for Engagement in Trade and Business:
These guidelines provide procedures on how mem-
bers of the NPS may seek approval to engage in
business and trade activities. These guidelines work
hand in hand with the conflict of interest policy.
The general rules of these guidelines are that offic-
ers should not engage in activities that interfere
with work or negatively impact the reputation of
the Service.

OUTSTANDING POLICE WOMAN SCALING THE HEIGHTS IN ACADEMIC EXCELLENCY
Chief Inspector (CI) of police Lilian Akelo Obura, recently broke the record after she scored a mean grade of 87 points, the overall highest score never recorded in all the Senior Training Courses in Police Administration that have been done at the Ad-ministration Police Senior Staff College -Emali located in Makueni County.
The Administration Police Ward Commander (APWC) attached at Kangemi ward, Westlands Sub County was at the time undertaking the Senior Training Course to qualify her to be considered for promotion to an Assistant Superintended of police.
CI Lilian Akelo speaks of her journey in academics Excel-lency
What other academic awards
have you received in the po-
lice service?
In 2002 after the initial nine months of police training I emerged the best in academic and I was awarded by the then president Daniel Toroit-ich Arap Moi during the passing out parade gradua-tion ceremony held at the Administration Police Train-ing College (APTC) in Emba-kasi
In 2008, during the annual
Excellence Award I was also
honored for outstanding per-
formance.
What is it that always make
you stand out in academics?
It is being committed and do-
ing my best whenever I get
an opportunity. The recogni-
tion by the then president
Moi was motivating that if I
could do it at that level then I
needed to keep the consisten-
cy.
Above all my success is
through the grace of God,
Support and prayers from my
parents who gave me a
strong base founded on val-
ues and good morals.
What qualification did you
join the police service and
what motivated you to join
the police service?
I joined the Police Service in
2001 with a KCSE certificate
which I did at Migingo Girls
high school in 1999 and at-
tained a mean grade of C+. I
now have a bachelor degree
in Peace and conflict studies
from Africa Nazarene Uni-
versity.
I was encouraged to join the
service because it was a
unique recruitment. For the
first time the Administration
Police force as it was known
by then was recruiting fe-
male recruits from the dis-
trict level.
How did you get back to
school after becoming a po-
lice officer?
I had the privilege of being
Chief Inspector Lilian Akelo Obura

Page 13
sponsored by the National Police Service to do
short courses like, middle level management ,
effective communication, Information Technol-
ogy among others which helped me progress
quite well as I upgraded my skills and exposed
myself to diverse ideas in policing.
I was also highly influenced by the personali-
ties I interacted with at work who tapped and
nurtured the potential in me and this I attrib-
ute to Mr. Lesasuiyan R. HSC SSP- Adjutant
APTC, Mr. I. A. Hassan HSC - APTC and CIP Te-
resa Ngetich of Embaksi Sub-county.
It was from this point that I developed a differ-
ent world view and decided to advance my ed-
ucation to a higher level.
In 2014 I sponsored myself and upgraded my
academic credentials to a Bachelor of Arts in
peace and conflict studies and graduated in
2016.
Going back to school how did you decide to
study peace and conflict?
Peace and conflict study is in line with my pro-
fession as a police officer as stipulated in the
NPS Act 2011 section 27 on Functions of Ad-
ministration Police Service.
I choose to study peace and conflict as I looked
at the relevance to my work because in my
roles I have a responsibility to support the gov-
ernment in managing conflict and peace keep-
ing.
I am also passionate in promoting culture of
peace in the society.
What impact does upgrading level of education
have to Police officers?
Education keeps officers updated to new regu-
lations that have come in place and the chang-
ing ways of policing. We need to be conver-
sant of not only our laws but international
standards as well.
Policing also needs intelligence and wisdom;
we must interact diversely and develop a cul-
ture of reading. We cannot expand our IQ
when we remain stagnant.
From your experience and coming from a
humble beginning how can other officers ad-
vance in education, where can they start?
They should first give themselves time to work
and get experience and exposure of what po-
licing involves. When they enroll to higher
learning institutions they will have known
what area they need to improve or upgrade on.
It will be a mature decision.
Doing a relevance course will motivate you
and you will be doing what you already have
experience in as well as help you advance in
your work.
What advice would you give to fellow officers?
Education is a blue print of what you want in
life as It equips you with the right knowledge
to enhance your skills. Besides combining it
with professionalism, talent and passion can
push anybody to greater heights

The most valuable asset of an organization is its human resource. Human capital is key to achieving organization mission and there-fore the need to obtain, maintain and retain human capital with the right skills, knowledge, attitude and competenc for ef-fective service delivery.
This is according to the Director Human Capital Management at the National Police Service Commission (NPSC) Mrs. Christine Rotich.
Speaking to Mrs. Rotich on the strides her department has made since the inception of the commission, she expressed satisfaction with how the commission has progressed by putting in place clear guidelines and regula-tions for its officers.
She noted that as a Directorate they were working towards cultivating a culture that is performance oriented by setting clear goals and objectively evaluating officers both at the Commission and National Police Service (NPS)
Mrs. Rotich revealed that the Commission has put in place the National Police Service Commission Staff House Mortgage Scheme to facilitate staff to acquire already con-
structed house(s) or develop house(s) on their duly acquired land
She said the objective of the Scheme shall be to provide a loan Scheme for members of staff for purchase of an existing residential property, construction, renovation and im-provement of an existing residential proper-ty, takeover of loans on existing Mortgages or equity release. A staff Mortgage Advisory Committee has also been established to oversee the imple-mentation and administration of the Scheme. While appreciating the work of the officers at the National Police Service Commission, the Director acknowledged that officers are exposed to harsh conditions in their line of duty hence the need to establish a referral and counselling center unit which will deal with the psycho social needs of the officers. She appreciated other line Directorates which have contributed to the success of her directorate. She emphasized the commitment of the Commission to see a staff that is happy by appreciating the work they do.
