President Uhuru Kenyatta has presided over the Groundbreaking Ceremony for a Kenya Police Leadership Academy in Ngong, Kajiado County.

Upon completion next year, the academy will provide the National Police Service (NPS) with modern facilities for the training of its senior leadership.

This leadership college sits on a 120acre piece of land where 18acres is currently in use.

The institution boasts adequate accommodation for 220 individuals, ultra modern Classrooms and lecture rooms, as well as an auditorium with seating for 450. Other key units include Kitchen and dining facilities, and a sports and recreational facility.

The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) is supporting the development of this project through a Memorandum of Understanding with the National Police Service (NPS).

Overall construction will be locally sourced where 56% of materials will be local. The project is expected to be completed and commissioned by January 3rd 2022.

As part of this arrangement, CBK will build adequate accommodation for the Police officers attached to CBK in Nairobi.

CBK has finalized plans to build a modern, gated community in Industrial Area with 210 units.

This will solve permanently a longstanding problem, and provide suitable living quarters for these officers and their families.
