Mudavadi praises Kenyan police as among the best in the world
Prime Cabinet Secretary (PCS) Musalia Mudavadi has praised the police for their professionalism, highlighting their strong performance in international peacekeeping missions.
This comes amid concerns over the increasing crime rate in the country, with cases of Kenyans dying in police custody continuing to shock many.

Speaking on Sunday, October 12, 2025, in Tana River County, at a homecoming ceremony for Amani Komora, the newly appointed Chairperson of the National Police Service Commission (NPSC), Mudavadi said Kenya’s police service has earned global respect through participation in more than 50 peace missions worldwide.
“Our security forces are professional, orderly, and regarded globally. We must ensure that the standards are kept at any given time,” Mudavadi said.

While the push for accountability against the police brutality and unexplained deaths, Mudavadi’s remarks come as the Kenya-Haiti Mission received a resource boost from US President Donald Trump.
The PCS has pointed to the ongoing peace mission in Haiti, where more than 800 Kenyan officers have served with distinction, as a powerful example of the force’s discipline and integrity.
“The peace mission in Haiti has been there for 15 months, and there is no single recorded case of human rights violation. This is a testament to their professionalism,” he asserted.
Strengthen standards
Mudavadi called on Komora to uphold and strengthen the standards set by his predecessor, Eliud Kinuthia, in leading the NPSC.
“You have no option as the chairperson but to make sure that the standards are kept, if not the way they are, they must be higher,” he urged.
Mudavadi also took the opportunity to call on the people of Tana River County to nurture peace in their communities, noting that stability is a key ingredient for development.
“Every investor is keen to put their money where they know there is peace. It is therefore important that you maintain a harmonious life to attract development in your area,” he said.
The staunch ally of President William Ruto referenced ongoing projects like the Galana Kulalu initiative as examples of peace-driven progress.
Mudavadi praised Komora’s career in public service, describing him as a symbol of national cohesion and a role model for the youth.
“His leadership is an inspiration and a testament to the transformative power of dedication and discipline,” he added.
