“IPOA is an equal opportunity employer and shall not in its recruitment discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, ethnic origin, political affiliation, sex or sexual orientation, pregnancy, marital status, disability, health or social status,” the advertisement states.
“Canvassing will result in disqualification automatically. Attending an interview does not need a medical examination, and IPOA does not work with any recruitment firms. Only those who have been shortlisted will be contacted.
Interested parties must send their applications by hand delivery, email, or the postal service.
The job title and reference number should be prominently shown on the cover letter, envelope, and email applications.
Copies of their national identity cards, academic and professional certifications, a thorough CV, and the IPOA employment form should all be included with the application.
Before the specified application date, they must also submit the names and phone numbers of three referees.
In order to provide civilian oversight of Kenyan police operations, the Independent Policing Oversight Authority was created by an Act of Parliament published in November 2011.
The constitution’s Article 244 mandates that police officers uphold the greatest standards of professionalism and discipline, encourage and implement accountability and transparency in the performance of their tasks, and more.
