dialogue between the Commission, members of the public, and key stakeholders.<br>Speaking at the Kenyatta International convention center,the CEO said \u201cThese forums will enable open engagement on the draft regulations, ensuring they reflect the values, priorities, and aspirations of the Kenyan people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Established under Article 246 of the Constitution, the NPSC is tasked with recruiting and appointing officers to the National Police Service, determining promotions and transfers, and exercising disciplinary control.<br>The proposed regulations are designed to streamline the recruitment process, enhance transparency, and guarantee merit-based selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Commission emphasized that the framework is anchored in the national values and principles of governance outlined in Articles 10 and 232 of the Constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stakeholders \u2014 including government agencies, professional bodies, religious groups, academia, civil society organizations, and members of the public \u2014 are encouraged to submit written memoranda or attend the scheduled public forums.<br>Details of the meetings have been published on the Commission\u2019s website and in local newspapers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe quality and diversity of feedback we receive will determine the success of these regulations,\u201d the Commission stated,
