He noted that sustained engagement between the two institutions is essential for promoting professionalism, accountability, and effective service delivery.

"The IG called for enhanced collaboration, particularly in the areas of training and capacity building for police officers, to support his vision of ensuring that all police stations and service points remain centres of excellence in policing operations and service delivery," the statement read in part.

While presenting the LSK memorandum, Kanjama appreciated the continued collaboration and constructive engagement between the two institutions.

IG Kanja was accompanied by the DIG of the Kenya Police Service Eliud Lagat, the DIG Administration Police Service Gilbert Masengeli, and the Director of Criminal Investigations Mohamed Amin.

On the other hand, the LSK delegation included the Chief Executive Officer, Florence Muturi; General Membership Representative, Vivienne Eyase; Nairobi Representative, Effie Sheila Achieng’; Upcountry Representative, Hezekiah Aseso; and Coast Representative, Titus Mukanzi, among others.

Elsewhere, the Katiba Institute moved to court to move for the IG to be held in contempt of court.

The Institute argued that the IG violated a court order issued in 2025, after the police erected barricades on major roads heading to the Nairobi Central Business District (CBD) on June 25 ahead of the Gen Z commemoration protests.
