IG Koome, NPSC given 7 days to agree on police promotions

This is after the Employment and Labour Relations Court Judge Byram Ongaya extended the orders suspending the promotions of 514 officers that were announced by IG Koome.

“I have a lot of confidence in the parties, they have the capacity to guide on governance in accordance with the constitution,” said the Judge.

The IG told the court that parties in the case are in the process of reconciling and what was remaining was signing and filling of the consent.

In the case, Senator Okiya Omtata moved to court to challenge the promotion of police officers by Koome.

Omtatah accused IG Koome of assuming the mandate of the National Police Service Commission (NPSC) in promoting the 514 police officers contrary to the Constitution.
