President William Ruto on Wednesday called on the National Police Service (NPS) and the Judiciary to work together for the common good of the Kenyan people.
The president, appearing to wade into the tiff between Acting Inspector General of Police Gilbert Masengeli and Chief Justice Martha Koome during the launch of Reforms of the Police and Kenya Prisons in Nairobi, noted that a squabble between the two institutions should be averted since it is likely to immensely hamper service delivery.
According to Ruto, despite the National Police Service (NPS) and the Judiciary being independent institutions, there was a need for both bodies to coexist peacefully since no government office was created for personal endeavours.
“I am acutely aware that the National Police Service is an independent and so is the judiciary but ultimately we have one master, the people of Kenya,” Ruto said.
“I want to ask all of us to work together selflessly for the good of the nation. We must make sure we work together towards serving Kenyans,” he added.
