The National Police Service (NPS) has launched an investigation into allegations of police misconduct during the 2025 Kenya Schools and Colleges National Drama and Film Festival held in Nakuru.

In a press release dated April 10, 2025, NPS confirmed it had deployed officers to provide security at the festival hosted at Lions Primary School, Nakuru County, after receiving credible intelligence about a planned disruption.

“On Thursday, 10 April 2025, we received credible intelligence that some individuals were planning to disrupt the event and as a responsible security organ, we put in place elaborate contingency plans to thwart such acts,” said NPS Director of Corporate Communication, Muchiri Nyaga.

However, the service acknowledged receiving allegations of misconduct by the deployed officers. “The Inspector General of Police has instructed the Internal Affairs Unit to immediately investigate the matter and present a report within 21 days,” the statement read.

Despite the concerns, NPS emphasized its commitment to professionalism and safety, stating: “The Service endeavoured to secure the 2025 Kenya Schools and Colleges National Drama and Film Festival… by implementing stringent security measures to ensure the success of the event.”

The police body reaffirmed its dedication to upholding constitutional values and operational independence. “National Police Service reaffirms its commitment to upholding the highest fidelity to the Constitution, operational independence, impartiality, and political neutrality in its role of maintaining law and order,” added Nyaga.

Investigations are ongoing as stakeholders await the report from the Internal Affairs Unit.
