The nationwide police recruitment set for Monday is now back on track after the High Court suspended the conservatory orders that had stopped the process earlier in the week. Justice Bahati Mwamuye on Friday stayed the orders issued on 10 November 2025, effectively restoring the position that existed before the suspension and giving the green light for the exercise to proceed.
The decision follows a fresh application filed by the 1st Interested Party, prompting the court to intervene and put the earlier directive on hold until all parties argue the matter inter partes. With the stay now in place, the National Police Service Commission and the concerned agencies can continue preparations for the recruitment, which had been thrown into uncertainty by the initial court order.
Justice Mwamuye directed the 1st Interested Party to immediately serve its application dated 13 November 2025, together with the new court order, on all parties and file an affidavit of service. He also confirmed that case management will proceed on 17 November 2025 as previously scheduled.
The order carries a penal notice warning that any disobedience of the court’s directives may attract sanctions.
The latest development now shifts attention to next week’s hearing, where the legality of the recruitment process and the competing mandates of the Inspector General and the National Police Service Commission will once again take centre stage.
