President William Ruto unveiled a new police uniform during the graduation ceremony of 6,000 police constables at the National Police College in Kiganjo, Nyeri County. The event took place on Friday, August 28, 2026, as Ruto presided over the passing-out parade.
In his speech, Ruto emphasized the importance of free political competition and called for an environment where candidates can campaign without restrictions. He urged Kenyans to have the freedom to assemble, question, and choose their leaders ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The ceremony highlighted both the new uniform and the political message, reinforcing Ruto’s focus on democratic engagement. The police academy remains a key institution for training officers, with the new attire symbolizing modernization and professionalism.
Ruto’s remarks underscored his commitment to political openness, aligning with broader efforts to strengthen democratic processes in Kenya. The event also served as a platform to showcase the country’s ongoing development in law enforcement and governance.
