MPs Instruct IG Kanja to Hand Over Key Police Duties to Commission

Inspector General of Police, Douglas Kanja, has been ordered by Members of Parliament to urgently transfer all payroll and human resource duties of the National Police Service (NPS) to the National Police Service Commission (NPSC).

This decision was reached during a session where both NPS and NPSC leaders appeared before the National Assembly’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on Tuesday, July 29. The session was chaired by Butere Member of Parliament Tindi Mwale.

MPs were angered by the police’s failure to hand over critical documents and accused the NPS of obstructing accountability.

Chairperson Tindi Mwale firmly directed IG Kanja and the NPS accounting officer to hand over all necessary financial records, especially those related to salaries and human resources, to the commission without any further delay.

“You’re not just giving them access—you must surrender every HR-related responsibility to the Commission the moment you return to your office,” Mwale instructed.

Additionally, the committee instructed the CEO of the Police Commission to formally write to PAC within two weeks, confirming that all the requested documents had been received and the transition had taken place.

Lawmakers emphasized the need for cooperation between the NPS and NPSC, saying the ongoing rivalry between the two bodies was harming the efficiency of the police force.

They urged both sides to end the conflict and work together to improve service delivery.

PAC Chair Mwale further defended the directive by stating that essential tasks like hiring, promotions, and staff management should be overseen by the commission to ensure transparency and professionalism.

“The two agencies must have a respectful working relationship. IG Kanja, some of these functions could get you into unnecessary trouble—yet they don’t fall under your jurisdiction. Let the Commission handle them so it can operate more effectively. This shift will even enhance security across the country,” Mwale added.

These events unfolded after the commission accused the police leadership of intentionally blocking its oversight role by refusing access to payroll records.

During the PAC hearing held on July 16, NPSC Chief Executive Officer Peter Leley said that despite a formal request from the Auditor General, the Commission was still being denied access to audit the payroll system.

Leley expressed concern that the commission was being left in the dark regarding whether its staffing and recruitment directives were being followed.

“We are stuck. We haven’t been granted access to the payroll, and that’s preventing us from conducting necessary audits to confirm whether our decisions are actually being put into action,” Leley told the committee.
