14 senior police officers have been sacked from the service after failing a re-vetting process by the National Police Service Commission.
The 14 are of the ranks of Senior Assistant Commissioner, Senior Superintendent and Superintendent. 23 others were reinstated after they convinced the commission that they were innocent.
According to the commission, the group was among 63 officers who failed in results that were released on October 9, 2015. Out of the group, 62 appealed and applied for a review of the decision by the Commission to remove them from Service.
”The Commission admitted 36 requests for review and rejected 26 in accordance with Vetting Regulation 33(2) which provides the criteria for granting a request for review. Out of the 36 reviews granted, the Commission overturned its decision with regard to 23 officers but upheld the decision to remove 13 officers from the Service,” the commission said on Wednesday.
In addition to the 36 review cases, the Commission also vetted for the first time an officer of the former rank of Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police (SACP) who was reinstated by the Court after being dismissed from Service.
