The nation has it that five police board job aspirants were interviewed on Tuesday. Among those who appeared before the panel interviewing applicants for posts on the Independent Policing Oversight Authority Board were the Former Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission director John Mutonyi, Nairobi Women’s Hospital boss Samuel Thenya, former police officers Mary Mwangangi and Mathew Kabetu, and Kenya Human Rights official Tom Kagwe.

It is said that Dr Mutonyi was accused of tribalism and nepotism while at the helm of the KACC but he denied the allegations saying that there was no time that he was in charge of human recourse and placement matters.

The interviews commenced on Monday where 26 aspirants were shortlisted from a list of 123 applicants.

The chairmanship of the panel was taken by Mr. Tache Bonsa Gollo of the Gender and Equity Commission. Other members on the panel are chief of staff in the Prime Minister's office Caroli Omondi, Internal Security permanent secretary Francis Kimemia and the human rights commission’s Fatuma Mohamed.

With the issue of nepotism and tribalism, nothing can be worked on right.Am glad of the step taken to report the same, this implies a better step to reducing such acts.

Whoever wins, we need discipline. Truth and justice must prevail and let the whole thing be based on qualification, leave alone experience. Some are selected as in Nancy Baraza only to be caught in cases of indiscipline, quite unethical.
