President William Ruto emphasized the importance of free political campaigning during his speech at the Kenya Police Service pass-out ceremony in Kiganjo. The event, held on August 28, 2026, marked the culmination of training for new officers. Ruto urged citizens to exercise their right to assemble, question, and critique leaders in preparation for the 2027 General Election.
The following day, August 29, Ruto will preside over the passing-out parade for over 6,000 police recruits. During the ceremony, he will unveil new uniforms replacing the navy-blue design. This move highlights the government’s focus on modernizing law enforcement while reinforcing public engagement ahead of the upcoming elections.
Both events took place in Kiganjo, Nyeri County, underscoring Ruto’s commitment to transparency and civic participation. His remarks on political freedom align with broader efforts to strengthen democratic processes in Kenya.
