Local rights activists want the recent police recruitment nullified following claims of widespread bribery and tribalism.
Centre for Restoration of Human Rights and Democracy Director Kefa Were said the exercise was marred by corruption claims, which has locked out deserving candidates.
“We want the exercise to be done afresh since we have evidence of massive corruption in the selection alongside tribalism which majorly disadvantaged other deserving candidates,” said Were.
He called on the inspector general of police, the Ethics and anti-corruption commission and the independent police oversight authority to get to the bottom of the matter to ensure officers who comprised its integrity are punished.
