Speaking during the event, Mr. Patrick Ndunda, AIG, delivered a goodwill message from the Inspector General of the National Police Service and President of AFRIPOL General Assembly, Mr. Hillary Mutyambai MGH (NSC) AU. He urged the officers to display dedication and steadfast commitment in discharging assigned roles at all times.
