Abstract

The concept ethical practice is defined as the adherence and honour of morals, beliefs and values of a profession one is subscribed to. It also encompasses helping others who have been subjected to biased making of decisions. In the world, there is an overriding worry when it comes to the management of human resource in organizations. The International Civil Service Commission (ICSC) has linked poor performance of organizations in the world to unethical management of human resources, and more so during the recruitment processes. This project evaluates possibilities of poor performances in the police service in Kenya instemming insecurity over the last four years, to unethical practices in the service. Specifically, the paper evaluates the implications of unethical police recruitments in Kenya over the last four years to overall performance of the police force in Kenya. This paper employs qualitative research methodology as a way of collecting data to qualify the hypothesis; that the unethical practice in the recruitment of the police service in Kenya has resulted to high levels of insecurity. Specifically, this project utilized focus group discussions, key informant interviews, participant observations, and case studies. Interviews involved two human rights individuals, two willing police officers stationed in Nairobi, three government officers at EACC and two Kenyan politicians. Three stations used during the 2014 police recruitmentexercise were chosen for getting field notes.
