President William Ruto Pledges On Governance: Security Services

The security sector is critical to long-term sustainable development and poverty alleviation by ensuring safe and fair systems to enable people to work and business to operate. Underdevelopment fuels crime and insecurity. Despite steps towards reform, many challenges still exist in effective implementation of security sector reforms as is evident in continued cases of political interference, poor leadership and dismal performance, corruption, excessive use of force and torture, extrajudicial killings and a lack of effective oversight and accountability.

Critically, independent and fair policing is vital for the protection of human rights, particularly the rights of the most vulnerable and the poor, who often suffer disproportionately from insecurity. The Kenya Kwanza Alliance acknowledges that democratic policing and respect for the rule of law are necessary to improve development by ensuring safe, secure and fair environments for people to work, travel, invest, participate in national affairs and to enjoy their lives

Establish a contributory Benevolent Fund for families of fallen and terminal ill officers, including mental health illness;

  • Harmonise affordable housing mortgage (similar to that of the Judiciary and Parliament);
  • Intrioduce horizontal transfer of service to the rest of civil service;
  • Provide insurance cover for loss of life for officers on duty (similar to that of the military);
  • Give lower cadre officers (sergeant and below) the option of serving in their home counties or where they chose to retire from the age of 50;
  • Provide political will - Security sector reform is good for everyone and police reform efforts must not be wound back;
  • Within the first 100 days, Kenya Kwanza will commission a review of remuneration and terms of service for all officers in the security sector to be commensurate with the cost of living.
