Head of Public Service Felix Koskei has said that police officers perpetuating corruption in their workstations will be held responsible at an individual level.
Koskei said there will no longer be buck-passing or sacred cows in the war to end the cases of bribery and other forms of corruption within the police service.
"There will be no protection for officers involved in corruption, nobody and neither will there be a place to hide," he said.
"Accountability will be down to the individual, we cannot say the service is corrupt and start hanging the IG."
The government, he said, will pursue the war to its conclusive end and hence asked the officers to be part of it.
Koskei spoke during a consultative meeting with senior police officers at the Kenya School of Government.
He said the police officers work under pressure and sometimes under difficult situations but their image was being spoilt by a few.
"You represent the first line of defence when it comes to corruption and we request you to support us," he said.
During the forum, the police heads were tasked with developing actions on how to combat corruption in their regions.
The action plans, he said, will be consolidated into a national Police Service Corruption Prevention Plan which is expected to be in place in three months.
"We want to be people who know where we are beginning and ending. We want to fight this menace in a coherent, calculated, conscious and intentional manner," he said.
Koskei said they are cognizant of the challenges faced by the officers.
He assured the officers that the government is committed to implementing all reforms in the service.
"We are committed to better your terms of service so that you can have the physical and emotional comfort to work without destruction," he said.
He reminded the officers that President William Ruto was fully dedicated to fighting the vice urging them to support him.
"There are no other people to support him apart from you, we want you to lead by example," he said.
