NAIROBI, Kenya – The National Police Service Commission (NPSC) has adjusted its schedule for the nationwide recruitment of police constables, set to begin this Friday, with new centres added and corrections made to earlier listings.
In a notice issued Tuesday, the Commission announced the establishment of seven additional recruitment venues across five counties, alongside clarifications in 23 centres listed in the initial advertisement.
In Kitui County, three venues—Nuu TVET grounds (Nuu subcounty), Zombe Stadium (Zombe subcounty), and Mathuki DCC grounds (Mwingi East)—have been added.
Wajir will now host an exercise at Sabuli, Tana River at Kokane, Tharaka Nithi at Kibung’a in Tharaka West, and Meru at Thaura Secondary School in Imenti South.
Several corrections have also been issued across nine counties. In Nairobi, for instance, recruitment for Embakasi North will now be conducted at Dandora Stadium on October 3, while Embakasi Central will hold its exercise at Huruma grounds on the same day.
Other notable changes include Bungoma’s Sirisia Sports Ground, which will now serve as a venue, alongside subcounties such as Suba West, Kabete, Chonyi, Nzambani, Samburu, and Chuka North on October 6.
Recruitment in Mbita, Kikuyu, Kaloleni, Lunga Lunga, Soy, Ganze, and Igamba Ng’ombe will follow on October 7.
Kitui Central, Githurai, Magarini, Mutitu North, Lower Yatta, and Webuye East are scheduled for October 8, while the nationwide exercise is set to conclude on October 9.
Apart from the stated additions and corrections, the Commission said all other details from the earlier advertisement remain unchanged.
