Africa’s fastest man Ferdinand Omanyala is among the 2,881 constables who are graduating today from the National Police College in Kiganjo.
The 100m sprinter is passing out today in an event presided over by President William Ruto.
The recruits completed the Basic Police Training Course and were exposed to a variety of courses including Human Rights, Community Policing, Public Order Management, Skills at Arms, and Countering Violent Extremism, according to NPS.
Omanyala agreed to join the National Police Service in December 2021 and compete in track events for the NPS.
The NPS appointed Omanyala as an Inspector in 2021.
“The 25-year-old sensational sprinter has taken up a new role that will see him represent the National Police Service in future track events,” a statement from the NPS then read.
Omanyala now joins David Rudisha, Joshua Kamworor, Vivian Cheruiyot, Julius Yego, and the legendary Ezekiel Kemboi in the National Police Service.
